Can an electric range be powered from the same circuit as an electric dyer?
No. The two appliances usually have dedicated circuits. The range will have a two pole 40 amp breaker and be fed with a 3-C #8 copper cable. The dryer will have a 30 amp two pole breaker and be fed with a 3-C # 10 copper cable. As you can see by powering a 40 amp device from a 30 amp breaker, full operation of the range will trip the 30 amp breaker.
Can you put a 20amp water pump and a 30 amp water heater on a 50amp breaker?
No, it is not safe to put a 20 amp water pump and a 30 amp water heater on a 50 amp breaker. The total amperage exceeds the capacity of the breaker, which can lead to overheating, tripping, or even a fire hazard. It is recommended to have separate dedicated circuits for each appliance to ensure safety and proper functionality.
