The wire size of three ought (000) copper with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 210 amps.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized

What size breaker should be used for a TNIA-10 wire?
The breaker size for a TNIA-10 wire depends on the maximum current carrying capacity of the wire, which is typically indicated on the wire's packaging or in its specifications sheet. You should select a breaker that is rated slightly higher than the wire's maximum current capacity to ensure safety and avoid overloading the wire. It is recommended to consult with a qualified electrician for specific guidance on breaker sizing for your installation.
When installing a circuit breaker do you size the breaker to correct wire size or the device its controlling?
When installing a circuit breaker, you size the breaker based on the wire size. The breaker should be matched to the ampacity of the wire to ensure proper protection against overloads and short circuits. The device being controlled by the breaker is not a determining factor in sizing the breaker.
How big of breaker do you use for 115 volt?
Depends on the wire size used in the circuit. If you use AWG # 14 wire you must use a 15 amp breaker. If it is wired with AWG # 12 wire then you use a 20 amp breaker. If a AWG # 10 wire is used then a 30 amp breaker is required. The breaker protects the wiring from overheating so you must use the proper size breaker for the wire used.
Can you run 8 gauge wire on a 50 amp breaker?
6ga should be used. It might not be against codes where you are,and you might have a 50amp installed for something that only uses 40amp, but it should be done right, and 6ga should be used off of a 50amp breaker.
14 gauge wire can be on what size circuit breaker?
A 14 gauge wire is typically used on a 15 amp circuit breaker. It is not recommended to use a larger circuit breaker with a smaller wire size as this can create a fire hazard.
What size wire should be used with a 60 amp breaker?
A 6-gauge wire should be used with a 60 amp breaker.
What size wire should be used for a 25 amp breaker?
For a 25 amp breaker, a wire size of at least 10 gauge should be used to safely handle the current.
What size wire should be used for a 100 amp breaker?
For a 100 amp breaker, a wire size of 2 AWG (American Wire Gauge) should be used to ensure proper electrical safety and performance.
What size of wire should be used for a 50 amp breaker?
For a 50 amp breaker, a wire size of at least 6 AWG (American Wire Gauge) should be used to safely handle the electrical load.
What size wire should be used for a 50 amp breaker?
For a 50 amp breaker, a wire size of at least 6 AWG (American Wire Gauge) should be used to safely handle the electrical load.
What size wire should be used for a 30 amp breaker?
For a 30 amp breaker, a wire size of at least 10 gauge should be used to ensure safe and proper electrical connections.
What size wire should be used for a 40 amp breaker?
For a 40 amp breaker, a wire size of at least 8 AWG (American Wire Gauge) should be used to ensure safe and proper electrical conductivity.
What size wire should be used for a 70 amp breaker?
For a 70 amp breaker, a wire size of at least 4 AWG (American Wire Gauge) should be used to ensure proper electrical safety and performance.
What size wire should be used for a 60 amp breaker?
For a 60 amp breaker, a wire size of at least 6 AWG (American Wire Gauge) should be used to ensure safe and efficient electrical conductivity.
What size breaker should be used for a double oven?
50 amp breaker wired with AWG # 6 wire.
What size breaker should be used for a TNIA-10 wire?
The breaker size for a TNIA-10 wire depends on the maximum current carrying capacity of the wire, which is typically indicated on the wire's packaging or in its specifications sheet. You should select a breaker that is rated slightly higher than the wire's maximum current capacity to ensure safety and avoid overloading the wire. It is recommended to consult with a qualified electrician for specific guidance on breaker sizing for your installation.
What size amp circuit breaker should be used for 110 outlet?
The size breaker you use is determined by the size wire used in the circuit. If you use AWG #12/2 wire then use a 20 amp breaker. If you use AWG # 14/2 then use a 15 amp breaker.
