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 else can I help you with?
What is the wire size for a 35 amp breaker to a ac unit?
You will need to use #8 wire.
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.
What size wire and breaker you need for metal halide 400w bulb?
For a 400W metal halide bulb, you will typically need a 14-gauge wire and a 20-amp breaker. However, it is recommended to consult the bulb's manufacturer specifications to ensure the correct wire size and breaker are used for safety and efficiency.
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
Can I you use existing 8 3 wire hooked to a 30amp breaker was hooked to old electric heater to wire a heater that requires 10 2 wire its a 5000watt 240volt heater?
No, you cannot use an existing 8 3 wire hooked to a 30amp breaker for a heater that requires 10 2 wire. The wire gauge and breaker size need to match the specific requirements of the new heater to ensure safety and proper function. You will need to upgrade the wiring to accommodate the 10 2 wire needed for the 5000-watt 240-volt heater.
What size wire do I need for a 30 amp breaker?
For a 30 amp breaker, you will need a wire that is at least 10 gauge in size.
What size wire do you need to wire a 200 am breaker box?
6
What size wire do you need for a 50 amp breaker?
For a 50 amp breaker, you would typically need a 6-gauge wire.
What size wire do I need for a 50 amp breaker?
For a 50 amp breaker, you will need a wire that is at least 6 gauge in size to safely handle the electrical load.
Can you hard wire a dishwasher directly to the circuit breaker?
Yes, you can.
What is the wire size for a 35 amp breaker to a ac unit?
You will need to use #8 wire.
What size wire do you need for a forty amp breaker?
8 AWG is typical.
What is the recommended wire size for a 50amp breaker?
The recommended wire size for a 50 amp breaker is typically 6-gauge wire.
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.
What size breaker do you need for two 60W bulbes 110 volts?
It is not the number of bulbs that you worry about. It is the wire size that is your concern. If the circuit is wired with AWG 12/2 wire then use a 20 amp breaker. If it is wired with a AWG 14/2 wire then use a 15 amp breaker. You are protecting the wiring with the correct size breaker.
What is the recommended wire size for a 20 amp breaker?
The recommended wire size for a 20 amp breaker is typically 12-gauge wire.
What is the appropriate wire size for a 25 amp breaker?
The appropriate wire size for a 25 amp breaker is typically 10 gauge wire.
