A ground fault circuit breaker essentially senses the difference currents flowing in the incomming & return wire of an electrical supply circuit.
In normal cases ideally the difference must be zero or very close to it. Whenever there is a fault & the electrical path also takes any other route e.g a operator who has accidentaly touched any live part of the equipment, there is a current flow imbalance in the input & return path of the electrical supply circuit. This imbalance is sensed & used to trip the main electrical circuit & thereby limits the Intensity & Duration of the Electrical current flowing through the operator. This results in the operator feeing a small jolt instead of a nasty or hazardous electrical shock.
From the above it is obvious that ground fault circuit breaker is essential for safety of the operator especially where the applicance is working with water or in watery surroundings & there is every chance of the water or operator accidentally comming into contact with a live electrical circuit & thereby create a safety.
A Stadard washing machine uses a dedicated 15 Amp single pole breaker. Nothing else should be on the circuit.AnswerThe above answer applies to North America. In the UK, a washing machine is connected to the ring main system using a three-pin plug that requires a 13-A fuse.
more than one simple machine is contained in a Washing machine(complex machine)
The first washing machine was invented in the year 1851. It was the drum washing machine and it was invented by James King.
James King invent the washing Machine at 1851.
James King invented the first drum washing machine in 1846 the first electric washing machine was not made until 1908
This is not a good idea. The washing machine current will surge when motor is started. a 20 Amp dedicated circuit is recommended for a washing machine.
The electric circuit that feeds it
Check the nameplate rating on the door or door frame of your washer, it should tell you the amp rating or the kw rating of the machine. If it only has the KW rating of the machine, simply divide the KW rating by the voltage of the receptacle and it'll give you the current (ampere) rating. Typically, a modern washing machine will draw approximately 7-12 amps. However, anticipate a higher amperage when starting the machine as the machine will draw 1.5X the rated current to start the machine (starting current). Regardless of the amp rating, the NFPA-70 (National Electrical Code) requiresa 20 Amp fuse or circuit breaker; and the circuit for the washing machine must be on its own, dedicated circuit.
A 2C #14 will be suffice but it should be the only device on the circuit. This is known as a dedicated circuit.

An electrician would put in two separate circuits since there is no telling in future that gas dryer might be replaced. You need to look at the breaker protecting the circuit and see if the current from the dryer and washer when added together don't exceed 80% of the breaker rating. Also the start up current for the dryer tumbler and washing machine motor don't add up to more than the breaker rating when added together. This is where problems will occur since start up currents may be 6 times running current.
dont try to run one on a 100 ft cord . check the voltage. it must be with in 10 % of the rating of the machine
yes a washing machine is a separator
1846 was when the washing machine was invented
