If it is a 32-amp circuit you can use any appliance that takes less than 32 amps. That includes a 15-amp appliance. All appliances fed from that circuit must use 32 amps or less in total.

How does voltage change across an appliance in a parallel circuit?
With the minor voltage loss in the wiring, the voltage drop across a single appliance is the total voltage in the circuit, and doesn't change when more devices are added in parallel.
When you pull out the plug connected to an electrical appliance you often observe a spark to which property of the appliance is this related?
I think it is due to the resistance to the electrical appliance, the resistance offered by the electrical appliance works as a load in the circuit and when load is removed it causes sparking.
Why you use inductor?
we use the inductor because it helps the circuit to have an appropriate amount of current, so that the circuit in the appliance will say longer.
How many small appliance branch circuits are required in a residence?
NEC 220.52(A) & (B) state that an additional load of not less than 1500 volt-amperes shall be included for each two-wire small appliance circuit and each laundry circuit.
What are the uses of wattmeter?
Wattmeter is an intrument which is used to measure the power consumption of an Electric circuit or an appliance which is connected to the supply in terms of Watts.
If an appliance does not work at all when you plug it in and turn the switch on the appliance circuit is what?
The appliance's circuit is open.
An appliance does not work at all when plug it in and turn the switch what happen to the appliance circuit is?
If an appliance does not work at all when you plug it in and turn the switch on the appliance circuit is not on.
When we 'switch on an electrical appliance' what change are we making to the circuit?
By 'switching on an electrical appliance' we are completing (closing) the electrical circuit, allowing electricity to flow and the device to work.
How many Amperage for a gas stove?
A gas stove needs no high current. A basic 15amp circuit will suffice. Code will probably require a 20amp circuit since its in the kitchen.
What is the rating circuit of the 3 phase appliance protector?
16A
A circuit with a separate path for each appliance is a?
A circuit with a separate path for each load is a dedicated circuit. <<>> A circuit with a separate path for each load is a parallel circuit.
What would happen to an appliance that is wired to a 220 circuit when the appliance was actually 110?
It will most likely be damaged beyond repair! Circuit boards will burn out as will motor/relays. And it could start a fire!
What does nacs mean referencing fire alarm?
Notification Appliance Circuit
What are the functions of an electric fuse in a an electric appliance?
To prevent an overload or short from causing the wiring in the circuit supplying power to the appliance from overheating and possibly catching on fire. The fuse is there to protect the wiring and not what is plugged into that circuit.
Does surge strips provide a built-in 15amp circuit breaker?
If the circuit breaker is in the off position there is no need of overload protection. Overload protection monitors the load amperage, If there is no amperage through the circuit there is nothing to monitor.
How do you wire 15amp 230v woodworking machine. 10agw or 12agw wire and type of outlet. Into a 15amp or 20amp breaker?
A 20 amp circuit with #12 gauge wire will work in any event but if the nameplate recommends a 15 amp circuit then #14 gauge wire on a 15 amp circuit is sufficient. In either case you will have a double pole breaker and your equipment may not require a neutral. Always run a grounding conductor.
Is the neutral wire energized when the appliance is off?
No current flows in the circuit when the circuit is open, as in when the appliance is switched off. The voltage is on the "hot" side of the switch when it is in the open position but the neutral is not energized until the switch is closed.
