Wire sizes and ampacity are regulated by code. # 14 wire 15 amps, #12 wire 20 amps, #10 wire 30 amps, #8 wire 40 amps, #6 wire 60 amps. These are the most common, a slight variation in amperage depending on the insulation factor.

Calculate 120Volt 15 amp appliance kWh?
Well, a 120V appliance that draws 15A would be using 1800W. (15x120). A killowatt hour is one killowatt used continuously for an hour. If you used that device for one hour straight, it would use 1.8 kWh. (Keep in mind the device may not draw a full 15A)
What are some uses for an electrical cord?
Electrical cord is also refered to as power cord, line cord, and main cable. Electrical cord is mainly used to connect the appliance to the main electricity supply via wall socket.
What determines whether a 100-W light bulb costs more to use than a 1200-W hair dryer costs to use?
The electric power used by an appliance is the rate at which the appliance converts electrical energy to other forms of energy. The electrical energy used by an appliance depends on the power of the appliance and the length of the time it is used.
Can you plug a dc appliance into a wall outlet?
With the proper cap configuration on the DC cable, yes it physically can be done. If there is a DC load connected to the end of the DC cable, the load would be destroyed by the application of AC voltage being applied to it. Why anyone would consider doing this type of procedure is anyone's guess.
Can you plug in a 150V appliance into a 110V outlet?
Probably not, but I have yet to see a 150 volt appliance as this is a non-standard voltage. If you are referring to a 115 volt appliance then the answer is yes you can as 110/115/120 volts tend to be used interchangeably in practice and are close enough together to not affect operation of the appliance.
How calculate the cable size when give current?
The NEC has a table that shows what size cable to use with each amperage and where it can be used.
If you know the power rating of an appliance and the voltage of the line it is attached to you can you calculate the current used by the appliance?
If I understood your question correctly, 'If you know the power rating of an appliance and the voltage of the line it is attached to, can you calculate the current used by the appliance?' You are looking for this equation: I = Current (Amps) P = Power Rating (Watts) V = Voltage (Volts) I = P/V This equation is useful when calculating the fuse rating for an appliance. For example, and appliance rated at 2400 watts, supplied with 240 volts has a 10 amp maximum. I = 2400/240 however, when it comes to paying for electricity, the energy is measured in units, which can be found using the equation: P = Power (kW) t = Time (Hours) Energy Used (Units) = Pt for example, an appliance rated at 2 kW used for 3 hours, uses 6 units of energy. Units = 2*3
What is flex outlet?
An appliance cable or "flex" outlet is a type of electrical outlet which is NOT a "socket outlet" to take plugs for appliances so that they can be plugged and un-plugged. An appliance cable or "flex" outlet has terminals inside it. The terminals allow the wires in an appliance cable or "flex" to be connected to the household wiring in a building. The household wiring comes from the building's main electrical power panel, which carries the main circuit breakers. The circuit breakers are fitted to protect the household wiring from catching on fire if any circuit is overloaded. Such appliance cable or "flex" outlets also have strain-relief clips. A strain-relief clip helps to prevent the cable from being yanked out of the outlet if the appliance gets moved away from the wall where the outlet is installed. Such outlets, with terminals inside and strain-relief clips, are used for fixed appliances, such as ranges or dryers, which should never have to be un-plugged during normal use of the appliance by the user.
Is there somewhere that a person could go to get used appliance parts?
There are many places where you can buy used appliance parts. Many local restoration stores sell used appliance parts. You can also buy them online at Ebay (http://www.ebay.com) and Appliance Depot (http://www.appliancedepot.com).
What is auto feature?
A feature on an appliance which can be set or used so that the appliance will do its function automatically.

What is a network appliance used for?
A network appliance is a home appliance that can connect to control devices wirelessly. Lights can be turned on or ovens pre-heated remotely at the push of a button.
What happens to a battery when it is used in an appliance?
it gets eaten by a tiny monster inside the battery which gives energy to the appliance

What is used to measure distance to stars?
The appliance of science
If you have already used an appliance for rotom can it be used again?
i don't think so
Find Used Parts For Your Appliance?
If you have an appliance that needs to be fixed, don�t buy a new one; just find the parts for it. Appliance parts are sold at most home repair stores and they are much cheaper than replacing the entire appliance. There are some stores that have appliance parts that are used, saving you money that would be spent on a new part. If at all possible, get a warranty on the appliance part you buy so if it doesn�t wok you can return it.
