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.


What size circuit breaker is needed for a 300 watt bulb?

A 15 amp circuit breaker will handle this situation very well. The smallest home breaker is rated at 15 amp.


Installing a 120volt appliance what breaker is needed at the electric box?

Need to know what the wattage or the amperage is of the appliance. The load amperage is what governs the wire size and the breaker to protect the circuit.


What property would you be testing for if you are using a circuit breaker?

A circuit breaker is not a test instrument, it is a kind of switch that interrupts the supply when that is needed, but it is more than that because circuit breakers are specialised items, and examples exist that can interrupt currents of hundreds or thousands of amps at very high voltage.


How does drawable circuit breaker look like?

in a single line diagram it looks like this ( ____/ ___ ) while regular circuit breaker looks like this ____/ ____ the difference is that the first one can be removed from its place if maintenance is needed, while the regular one you can't. Viva Palestine

How big of a circuit breaker needed for two 1500 watt that are 240 volts?

A 30 amp breaker wired with AWG #10 wire.


What circuit breaker amp needed to run a 10 seer central ac unit?

60amp


What is a 30 amp circuit breaker used for?

A 30 amp circuit breaker is needed unless the load is a motor circuit, then it has to be sized to 250 percent of the motors full load amps. For 30A circuit is needed breaker 30*1.25=37.5 --> 40A. If load is lamp or heater, then use breaker of group A or B. If load is motor, then use breaker of groupC or D (very hard start) or special safe breaker for motor - with variable amp setpoint. See related link also. By code you are only allowed 80% of the rating of a breaker. So 30x80%=24amps. 24 amps is the MAX allowed on a 30 amp breaker. You would need a 40amp breaker for a 30 amp circuit. 40x80%=32. So you would want a double pole 40amp breaker.

What size circuit breaker should be used if you use 5 horsepower of air-conditioning?

To answer this question a voltage value must be given. Circuit breakers protect the conductors that feed the load. The lower the voltage value, the higher the current value, hence a larger the wire size is needed and therefore larger the breaker size for the circuit. In reverse the higher the voltage value, the lower the current value, hence a smaller the wire size can be used therefore smaller the breaker size for the circuit.


What size wire and circuit breaker is needed for an electric oven 4 wires with rated load of 34.9 amps 220v that is about 100 foot run from the electrical panel?

That would be a 40 amp 220v circuit. Circuit breaker is 40 amps and wire is 8 awg. Should use solid copper wire. Follow oven installation instructions.


What Wire Size needed for 40 amperage circuit breaker?

A #8 copper conductor with a 90 degree C insulation factor is rated at 40 amps.


How do you add wires in your house?

First you need top check to see if you have space in your circuit box. If so a new breaker can be added and wires ran from that new circuit to any new location where additional electric is needed.
