In countries that use a single phase split secondary service you can. In modern homes this is the type of circuitry that is used for kitchen split receptacles. On the receptacle the tie bar is removed from the "hot" side of the receptacle. A red wire of the three wire cable is placed on the upper terminal of the receptacle. A black wire of the three wire cable is placed on the lower terminal of the receptacle. The white wire is placed on the opposite side of the receptacle under the silver coloured screw. This will give you a full 15 amps capacity on the top portion of the receptacle and a full 15 amp capacity on the bottom half of the receptacle.

What size wire IS needED FPR A 30 AMP OUTLET BOX?
It depends upon the length of the circuit, but for 50 feet or less a 10 gauge wire should be fine. A short length (15 feet), you could use 12 gauge. If you double the length to 100 feet, you should use 8 gauge. A rule of thumb is to drop down a gauge for every length that is doubled. There are wire size charts available on the internet. Some can be conservative such as recommending #8 for 50 ft or less at 30 amps. It is better to be conservative than to run too much amperage on a smaller wire that can cause a fire. As a general rule, 12ga wire can be used in house circuits for 20amps or less. 16ga wire can be used for 15 amps or less such as lighting circuits. That is considering lengths of less than 100 feet.
What determines wire size for 3-phase electrical circuits?
there are various parameters to be cosidered in the design of the wire size such as voltage, current ratings, length of circuit, whether circuit is balanced or unbalanced, conductivity of the material used for the wire etc. There are different formulae for different conditions. if you want, i can give you.
What is the formula to find resistance in conductors?
For DC circuits: R = l*p / A R - resistance l = length of the conductor p = electrical resistivity A = the cross sectional area Calculating for AC, and especially three phase power becomes much more complicated. If you need to know more for AC, let me know specifics.
What does resistance depend on?
Resistance depends on the thickness and length of the wire used, as well as the conductor used. For example, a short, thick wire made of copper will conduct electricity better than a long, thin wire made of, say, iron.AnswerResistance is directly proportional to the length and inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area (not 'thickness') of a material. Its constant of proportionality is called resistivity which is affected by temperature -so temperature indirectly affects resistance.
How do you calculate the cable length for the building?
Decide on the path for the cable, site visit to verify length of conductor avoiding any obstacles. (Other services, ducts, structural beams.) Add a small percentage to allow for bends and connection at each end.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.

What is the length of a conductor?
It would depend on both the actual length or size of the conductor itself, and the strength and, or origin of the heat, light electricity, or sound.======================================Answer #2:The conducting traces in some LSI integrated circuits are nanometers long,whereas intercity utility transmission lines may be hundreds of miles long.I can't see how the strength or origin of the heat, light, electricity, or soundhas any effect on the length of the conductor ... unless you're measuring theconductor in terms of wavelength.
The logic of separate constituencies and separate interests underlying the bicameral congress was reinforced by?
Differences in length of tenure
Do you need separate passports for each destination?
No - but you may need separate visas, depending on the country and your length of stay.
Describe the function of electricity and the agarose gel in electrophoresis?
The electricity pulls the polar DNA strands through the gel, and shorter DNA strands move farther because they are less inhibited by the gel. The gel acts as drag to separate the different length DNA strands, so different DNA creates specific dye bands.
What are factors that affect resistance of electricity?
Temperature, thickness, length and type of wire.
What is the length of tenements?
A tenement is a room or rooms forming separate flats within a house. Therefore, the length (frontage?) is variable.

What is the wave length of mobile?
In mobile telecommunication wave length is another word for frequency. and the length can be anything provide that it is allowed by the government
How does series circuit travel?
The electricity follows the entire length of the wire. if any part of the circuit is broken, all the electricity stops moving in the circuit.
If the diameter is 25 millimeter what will be length?
The diameter does not affect the length. It is a separate dimension. Diameter is the cross sectional measure of a circular object.
What is the symbol for chain in area or length?
No separate symbol, just the abbreviation "ch".
