How do you upgrade from 120V 15A to 120V 20A or from 240V 20A to 240V 30A?

You have to replace the wire (as you are increasing the current capacity), the outlet, and the breaker. Essentially you have to remove the old circuit and put in a new one. You can't reuse parts of the old circuit as you are increasing the current capacity and they would be underrated.

What is 5a³ plus 15a² plus 20a?
It cannot be simplified any further, so it is: 5a³ + 15a² + 20a
Missing fuse diagram can someone list the colors or fuses?
The fuse diagram for my 91 Capri is as fallows: Engine 15A Stop 20A Power Window 30A \ Meter 10A Hazard 15A ------ HTD B-light 20A Cigar 15A Tail 15A IG Relay Room 10A door lock 30A Audio 15A \ Fog Lamp 20A Air Cond 15A ----- \ Cooling Fan 20A Wiper 20A Heater 30A The IG Relay and the Heater are the big ones on the side of the fuse box.
What size is a fuse on a 350 warrior?
Stock fuses are usually 15a, but I use a 20a.
How do you wire a 240V 60Hz 20A convection oven?
two hot one ground
Can a 30A 240V outlet be replaced by a 20A 240V one?
You can, but be advised that whatever you plug into the new outlet should not exceed 5000W capacity (20A x 250V = 5000W)or you could risk overheating the new outlet with serious results. To prevent this, you should make sure the circuit breaker is a 20A also.
Would a 30A 240V circuit breaker be too large to safely support a either a 20A or 23A 240V bandsaw?
Yes it will operate it fine.
What is the right circuit break to be used for lighting circuits?
Usually 15A or 20A, but it depends on the wire used.
Are 15a receptacles ul rated for 20a?
The kitchen and garage are the only 20 amp circuts usually.
What is the max wattage for a 120V outlet?
Power [Watts] = Voltage [Volts] * Current [Amps] These equations assume purely resistive loads, all in the ideal format, anything other than ideal will vary based on your homes wiring, the types of breakers that you use, the type of device [load] that you put on the circuit, etc. For a 20A Circuit: 120V (RMS) * 20A = 2400W (Keep in mind that this is an ideal case) For a 15A Circuit: 120V (RMS) * 15A = 1800W (Keep in mind that this is an ideal case)
What is info on a 120V through its double 20A breaker and 10-2 plus a separate bare ground inside plastic flex conduit to a three-prong 240V outlet box?
So what's your question? 110V would be hot to neutral/ground. 220V is hot-to-hot (phase to phase).
What is the wattage in the circuit?
wattage is voltage and amperage multiplied. example V/A=W or 120v x 20a=2400 watts
20 amp breaker power verse 15amp breaker power?
The 20A breaker can handle (25%) more power than the 15A breaker, because of this the wires used inside the walls is larger. Some circuits must be 20A, the laundry and kitchen are examples of 20A circuits.
