What wire size needed for 120 volt 3000 watt load?
AWG # 10 wire on 30 amp circuit.
What size wire and breaker do you need for a 5000 watt garage heater?
Look on the heater and see what amps it is pulling. That will determine the wire size and breaker size. It must be on a dedicated circuit. 15 amps = AWG # 14 wire with 15 amp breaker 20 amps = AWG # 12 wire with 20 amp breaker 30 amps = AWG # 10 wire with 30 amp breaker 40 amps = AWG # 8 wire with 40 amp breaker
What amp fuse do you use for a 100 watt bulb?
Fuses or breakers are used to protect the conductor to the load. A #14 wire conductor is rated for 15 amps. Most home circuitry is done with #14 wire. The minimum size breaker in an electrical panel is 15 amp so it looks like a 15 amp fuse or breaker can be used for a 100 watt light bulb.
What is the amp size of a 8 wire?
The amp size of a wire is determined by its gauge, not the number of wires. An 8-gauge wire is typically rated for around 40-60 amps, depending on the type and insulation of the wire.
What size wire should be used to connect a water heater from the panel?
A 10-gauge wire is typically used for a 30-amp circuit required for a water heater. However, it's essential to consult the manufacturer's instructions or an electrician for the specific wire size needed based on the water heater's specifications and local electrical codes.
What size gauge wire for 4000w amp?
on a 4000 watt amp the best gauge wire woul be between 2 and 0
What size gauge power wire do you need for a 4000 watt amp?
2 or 4
What size gauge power wire do you need for a 1200 watt amp?
You should use a 4 guage wire. There is a handy chart located at http://www.the12volt.com/info/recwirsz.asp which lists the proper wire size for differing wattages.
What wire size needed for 120 volt 3000 watt load?
AWG # 10 wire on 30 amp circuit.
What size hot wire do you need for a 1900 watt amp?
A 12 gauge wire can support a load of approximately 2200 watts.
Will 760 watt 2 channel amp power two 300 watt sub woofers?
Yes, but the amp is too powerful and if turned up to full volume will blow the speakers.
Can you run 1800 watt 600 Rms Type R Sub with a 760 Watt Jenson amp If i Bridge the amp?
sure. Will it be loud? No. Its just not enough power to drive that sub.
What size wire and breaker do you need for a 5000 watt garage heater?
Look on the heater and see what amps it is pulling. That will determine the wire size and breaker size. It must be on a dedicated circuit. 15 amps = AWG # 14 wire with 15 amp breaker 20 amps = AWG # 12 wire with 20 amp breaker 30 amps = AWG # 10 wire with 30 amp breaker 40 amps = AWG # 8 wire with 40 amp breaker
What gauge wire do you need for 1800 watt amp and 2 550 watt subs?
4 gauge
What size gauge power wire do you need for a 5000 watt amp?
Look i have a 5500 watt power acustic amp and its saids not to use nothing under 0 gauge. So use that thicker wirer mean better performance. Try it!!
What Wire kit do you use for a 180 watt amp?
18 gauge
What size amp circuit breaker do you use on a 55 watt fluorescent light?
A 55 watt fluorescent light only pulls 0.4 amps. Lights can be installed on a 15 amp breaker using 14/2 wire. A maximum of 1440 watts is all that is allowed on a 15 amp circuit.
