Can you plug an electric range into an outlet on a 30 amp breaker?
No, an electric range typically requires a dedicated 40 to 50 amp circuit due to its high power demands. Plugging it into a 30 amp outlet could overload the circuit and create a safety hazard. It's important to have the appropriate electrical setup in place for your range.
How many lights can run off a 15 amp breaker?
Generally, a 15 amp breaker can safely handle around 1440 watts of power. The number of lights that can run off this breaker depends on the wattage of each light. As a guideline, if each light consumes around 60-75 watts, you can safely run about 16-24 lights on a 15 amp breaker.
How many watts does my 12 volt 2 amp battery charger draw?
Your 12 volt 2 amp battery charger draws 24 watts of power (12 volts x 2 amps = 24 watts).
I have 100 amp breaker box I want to put a 60amp double pole breaker in and run 60 amp wire to me garage. Do the y make a 60 amp breaker box with more then 4 breaker slots. or can you run 60 amp wire?
Rated for exactly 60amps you will find limited breaker spaces due to the rating of the hardware used in it's construction and air circulation restrictions from the equivalent limited enclosure area. When rated at a determined amperage level it is required to construct the device based on the worse case possible scenario which includes a continuous running load. This will determine it's minimum standards according to local and national codes for hardware, room, spacing, and, layout. This does not limit you to only this size panel though. As long as you install the 60amp breaker first in your house panel anything installed down stream {from the load side of the 60amp breaker will be protected up to 60 amps. Therefore you are permitted to exceed those ratings and still remain within code because regardless of what your load is, it can not exceed 60 amps without tripping the breaker. You can install a 12/24 {12-full size or 24-half size [mini's]} 100amp panel for additional breaker spaces and the cost difference is negligible. One code issue to consider is if the sub panel in the garage is not in line of sight of that 60amp breaker then you might want to install another 60amp breaker in the garage panel to interrupt the incoming power giving you the ability to work on/in the garage panel without the possibility of someone re-energizing it mistakenly. I would suggest before this to consult with an electrician for a load calculation to determine if there is 60amps of available power in the 100amp panel in the home. This panel may not have an over-current 100amp main breaker which means it is possible to exceed the panel rating of this unprotected panel. Installing a 100amp over-current device {breaker, fused safety switch, fuse block etc...} like your 60 amp breaker to the garage it will limit the total load to only 100amps. Good Luck and obtain all permits and full understanding of the project and safety protocols in it's regards.
Do two 12 volt 100 amp hour batteries give me 200 amp hours at 24 volt?
No. If you connect two 12 volt batteries in series(positive to negative) to make 24 volts, you will have 100 amp hours. If you connect two 12 volt batteries in parallel(pos to pos, neg to neg) you will stay at 12 volts but have 200 amp hours
What is a 30 amp circuit breaker used for?
A 30 amp circuit breaker is needed unless the load is a motor circuit, then it has to be sized to 250 percent of the motors full load amps. For 30A circuit is needed breaker 30*1.25=37.5 --> 40A. If load is lamp or heater, then use breaker of group A or B. If load is motor, then use breaker of groupC or D (very hard start) or special safe breaker for motor - with variable amp setpoint. See related link also. By code you are only allowed 80% of the rating of a breaker. So 30x80%=24amps. 24 amps is the MAX allowed on a 30 amp breaker. You would need a 40amp breaker for a 30 amp circuit. 40x80%=32. So you would want a double pole 40amp breaker.
Can you plug an electric range into an outlet on a 30 amp breaker?
No, an electric range typically requires a dedicated 40 to 50 amp circuit due to its high power demands. Plugging it into a 30 amp outlet could overload the circuit and create a safety hazard. It's important to have the appropriate electrical setup in place for your range.
How many lights can run off a 15 amp breaker?
Generally, a 15 amp breaker can safely handle around 1440 watts of power. The number of lights that can run off this breaker depends on the wattage of each light. As a guideline, if each light consumes around 60-75 watts, you can safely run about 16-24 lights on a 15 amp breaker.
What size breaker should be used for a 3.6 kW oven?
3000 / 240 = Amps. You de-rate a breaker by 20 % for continuous load like an oven. You could get by with a 20 Amp breaker and 12 AWG wire. However, I would recommend 30 Amps and 10 AWG for an oven for the long run.
Will a 24 volt 1.2 Amp charger charge the same as a 24 volt 1.5 Amp charger?
Yes, only it will take the 1.2 amp a little longer to fully charge a battery than a 1.5 amp charger.
What size amp circuit breaker should be used for a wall oven?
The electrical current requirements of a wall oven can vary, depending on the heating elements used by the manufacturer. To determine the current use, refer to either the operators manual, or the service tag. The service tag may list the power consumption in Watts, in which case you'll need to convert the watts to amps using the following formula: Amps = Watts/Volts Once you've determined the current draw in Amps, OVER-rate the breaker by 20%. For example, if you calculate that the oven draws exactly 20 amps, over-rate that to 24 amps, then use the next larger size breaker and wire that is appropriate to the breaker; typically that would mean a 10 AWG wire and 30 Amp breaker. BUT!!! If you have any questions, contact a licensed electrical professional.
Is 30 amp wire good enough to push a 220v welder?
If the welder does not list the input amperage, jyou can always refer back to the math that you learned in school. A simple algebraic formula will help you figure out the amperage: Amps * Volts = Watts Since you already know the Volts (use 240 for calculation), you should be able to calculate the amperage that is used by the welder. Up to about 12 Amps, use a 15 amp breaker and 14 AWG wire. Up to about 16 Amps, use a 20 amp breaker and a 12 AWG wire. Up to about 24 Amps, use a 30 amp breaker and a 10 AWG wire. You should have a qualified electrical professional perform any wiring changes if you do not have an adequate circuit already available to where you will be using the welder.
