Yes, the microwave draws less that the circuits protective rating and will not trip the breaker if used on a 15 amp circuit.
80% of the rated circuit. 10 amp circuit is 8 amps, 20 amp circuit is 16 amps, etc.
Provided you use wire that is rated for 20 amps.
yes u can by changing the fuseA more intelligent answerNo! NEVER use a fuse of larger current capacity than the circuit was designed to safely handle. The answer given above will result in a serious risk of fire. A circuit that was designed for 15 amps will overheat if you do as suggested above. Contact a licensed electrician to make the necessary changes to your electrical system so that you can use the larger microwave.
You can use the wire rated for 20 amps on a 15 amp receptacle but you can not use a 20 amp fuse on any device rated at 15 amps. This is a tricky part of the code about receptacle outlets, You can use a 15 amp duplex outlet on a 20 amp circuit. (duplex outlet two devices can plug in) If it is a single outlet then the outlet must be rated 20 amp. NEC table210.21(B)(3). ============ A 15 amp duplex receptacle can be wired to a 20 amp rated circuit. This means the breaker OR fuse protecting the circuit can be rated 20 amps if the wire is also rated at 20 amps (12 AWG). --Sparkfighter
You need a breaker rated for 10 amps and 250 volts. The breaker must also fit properly in your panel.
80% of the rated circuit. 10 amp circuit is 8 amps, 20 amp circuit is 16 amps, etc.
A typical microwave rated at 1100 watts uses 10 amps of power. This is calculated by dividing the number of watts by the voltage of 110.
Yes, every Microwave should have it's own dedicated circuit as some consume 15-18 amps.
When the wire you are protecting is a #10, rated at 30 amps.
Provided you use wire that is rated for 20 amps.
110 is commonly used to refer to the 120 volt, 60Hz electrical service found in the US and Canada. The current (measured in amperes or amps) is not related to the voltage so the answer is it cannot be determined. The amount of current that can be safely used in a circuit is determined by several factors, mainly the size and length of the connecting wire and the rating of the protection device (fuse or circuit breaker). Most 120V household wall receptacles are rated at 15 amps.
power/voltage=Amperage. If the circuit is rated above 33.4 Amps it can.
No, a #14 conductor is only rated for 15 amps. If the wire insulation is rated for 90 degrees C and is connected to a 90 degree rated circuit breaker the ampacity can be raised to 25 amps.

The amps (ampiers) decrease when in a series circuit ( with a light bulb)
Depends on how many watts the microwave is.
