Can I install a 10 amp Wayne 3/4 HP sump pump on an existing dedicated 15 amp circuit with 14 ga wiring? I just installed a Wayne 1/2 hp (replacing a failed 1/3 HP) and think I might need more as my discharge run is 125 feet even though the lift is only 2 ft... all underground
This question has been moved to the discuss question page, leave it up for a week.

What size in amperage circuit breaker should be used for a pool pump?
The size of the circuit breaker for a pool pump should be determined by the pump's current draw. The breaker should be sized to accommodate the pump's full load amperage with a 125% safety margin. Most pool pumps typically require a 15 or 20 amp circuit breaker.
What size circuit breaker to use on well pump?
To determine the correct size circuit breaker for a well pump, you should check the manufacturer's recommendations on the pump's label or in the manual. Typically, most well pumps require a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker for residential use. Make sure the breaker is appropriately sized for the pump's power requirements to avoid damage or safety hazards.
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 amp circuit breaker should be used for a well?
A 15-amp circuit breaker is typically used for a well pump that operates on a 120-volt power supply. For well pumps that operate on a 240-volt power supply, a 20-amp circuit breaker is typically used. It's important to check the manufacturer's specifications for the exact amp rating required for your specific well pump.
What size breaker do use for tnia 10?
For a TNIA 10 (Thermal Magnetic Circuit Breaker), the appropriate breaker size would depend on the specific requirements and rating of the circuit it is protecting. The breaker size should be chosen to match the maximum current rating of the circuit it is installed on to ensure proper protection against overcurrent. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's specifications and guidelines for selecting the correct breaker size for the TNIA 10.

How are Branch circuit protected?
Branch circuits are protected by the circuit breaker found in the electrical panel. Each circuit should have its one breaker. The breaker should be rated to protect the insulation of the wire, so you can determine the breaker size based on the circuit conductor size Example #14-2 should be protected by a 15 amp breaker

What size circuit breaker should be used for dishwasher and disposal?
A 15 amp dedicated circuit breaker should be used for the dishwasher. The disposal can be wired to the general kitchen 15 amp circuit.
What size amp circuit breaker should be used for a pool light?
The pool light is usually on a 15 amp circuit. The breaker feeding this circuit must have a GFCI rating.
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.
What size breaker should be used for a fridge?
For a standard refrigerator, a 15-20 amp circuit breaker is typically recommended.
What size amp circuit breaker should be used for a well?
A 15-amp circuit breaker is typically used for a well pump that operates on a 120-volt power supply. For well pumps that operate on a 240-volt power supply, a 20-amp circuit breaker is typically used. It's important to check the manufacturer's specifications for the exact amp rating required for your specific well pump.

Can a circuit breaker be tripped by using 20 amp sockets instead of 15 amp sockets?
A circuit breaker protects the wires that the devices are connected to. If the devices that are connected to the circuit are 20 amps the wire size should be #12 wire fed from a 20 amp breaker. This breaker should not trip unless the circuit is overloaded or a fault occurs on the circuit. If the devices that are connected to the circuit are15 amps the wire size should be #14 wire fed from a15 amp breaker. This breaker should not trip unless the circuit is overloaded or a fault occurs on the circuit. Putting 20 amp sockets on this 15 amp circuit will work but the circuit is limited to the amount of load that can be plugged in. You will not get the full capacity of the 20 socket because the breaker will trip at 15 amps.
What size amp circuit breaker should be used for a geyser?
The size of the amp circuit breaker needed for a geyser will depend on the specific electrical requirements of the geyser. It is important to consult the geyser's manufacturer specifications to determine the appropriate amperage for the circuit breaker. Typically, a 20-amp circuit breaker is commonly used for residential geysers, but larger geysers may require a higher amperage circuit breaker. It is crucial to ensure that the circuit breaker is properly sized to prevent electrical hazards and ensure safe operation of the geyser.
