How do you install electrical wiring for room aircon?

More information is needed, maybe a lot more. Depending on its size you may need a new circuit for it. If you trip the breaker then don't use it and get a new circuit installed for it on its own breaker. You are probably talking about a window unit. If it is a simple 5000 BTU unit you can probably plug it into the nearest receptacle. If you trip the breaker then you need to run a new circuit for it. If it is much larger you may need to run a new circuit. If it is a 240 volt unit then you need a new circuit.


Can GFCI circuit breaker handle a 240V circuit with a 120V circuit sub-paneled off if it?

I don't know if you are trying to ask if you can run a 240V panel off a GFCI or run a 120 V sub panel off of a GFCI. Can you clarify please,,,Thanks


Can you run 8 gauge thhn wire for 30a circuit?

yes


Does a microwave need a 15 or 20 amp circuit?

By code you're supposed to have a dedicated 20 amp circuit. But if you have an existing 15 amp circuit it might be fine for now if your microwave is 1400 watts or less and there's nothing else drawing power from that circuit. But if your running it new definitely run a 20 amp circuit dedicated on 12 gauge wire. That will allow you to use any microwave you want now and in the future.


Can you change a 120v 15 amp outlet into a 30 amp?

You can't "change" the outlet to a 30 amp.The major limitation is the size of wire that feeds the outlet. A 15 amp circuit is typically run with 14 AWG wire. A 30 amp circuit must use 10 AWG wire.To add a 30 amp circuit you'll need to run a new wire, new outlet and connect it all to a new breaker.Always seek the services of a qualified electrician to make those kinds of changes. A mistake can lead to electrical fires and possibly death of someone in the home.

Do circuit move from one place to another?

A "circuit" means "A closed loop of some sort that something travels on". You can run a circuit around a running track, or there can be a circuit for electricity to run around, and so on.

What is the difference between a run and a circuit?

Can a three phase circuit be installed in the same conduit or in different conduits?

The conductors of any three phase circuit must be run in the same conduit. If the circuit requires a neutral, it must also run with the conductors in the same conduit. (If they were to be run in more than one conduit or raceway, the circuit would not operate properly.)

In a parallel circuit does the battery run out very quickly?

No, it will run out just as much as if you put it in a series circuit. Parallel circuits involve the same voltage or amperage to go to each component.
