This can not be answered with the information you have given. 60Hz does not relate the the current draw so wire size can not be calculated.
A capacitor does not increase amps; instead, it stores and releases electrical energy. In an AC circuit, capacitors can influence the current flow by affecting the phase relationship between voltage and current, which can lead to higher apparent current (amps) in certain conditions. However, they do not increase the actual current supplied by a power source. The overall current still depends on the power supply and the load connected to the circuit.
Your 2-wire system is actually connected to one "side" of the 3-wire system. In your utility's 3-wire system you have 2 hot wires that are attached to each end of a tranformer winding and the neutral is attached in the middle and grounded. Typically in the US this gives you 240v (or something similar) between hot leads and 120v from each hot lead to neutral or ground.
Yes, you can put a 60 amp fuse in a 100 amp disconnect, but it may not be ideal. The disconnect can handle up to 100 amps, but using a lower-rated fuse like 60 amps will limit the maximum current that can pass through the circuit. This setup may protect downstream devices, but it could also lead to nuisance tripping if the load exceeds 60 amps. Always ensure that the fuse rating aligns with the load requirements and local electrical codes.
A multimeter, also called a VOM, is an ohmmeter, ammeter, and voltmeter combined in one case. A function knob can be turned to select the type of measurement to be made, such as volts, amps, or ohms. The multimeter's test lead connections to the circuit will depend on whether you are using it as a voltmeter, an ammeter, or an ohmmeter.
12 volts only refers to the voltage, to be able to say anything about charge time you also need to know the capacity rating in amp hours of the batteries. Assuming lead-acid batteries the charger needs to go to > 14.4 V and then a proportional amount of amps as compared to the capacity rating of the batteries. A rough approximation is that batteries needs to be charged with about 1.4 times their amp rating. An 1 Ah battery would need 2 hours on a 0.7 amp charger for instance.
For an extension lead, you typically use a fuse rated at 13 amps, which is standard for most household appliances in the UK. However, if your extension lead is designed for lower wattage devices, you might consider a smaller fuse, such as a 5 or 10 amp, to prevent overloading. Always check the manufacturer's specifications for the extension lead to ensure you are using the correct fuse. Additionally, ensure that the total load connected to the extension lead does not exceed its rated capacity.
Yes, a 15-amp plug can work on a 13-amp extension lead, but it’s not recommended. While the plug will fit, the extension lead is rated for a maximum of 13 amps, which may not safely handle the potential load of a 15-amp device. This could lead to overheating or a risk of fire. Always use plugs and leads that are compatible with each other for safety.
An extension lead is an electrical cable which allows one to use a plug-in device away from the wall-socket.

Leaving an extension lead plugged in can waste electricity if it has devices connected that are in standby mode, as they may continue to draw power. However, if no devices are plugged in, the extension lead itself typically does not consume electricity. To minimize unnecessary energy use, it's best to unplug extension leads when not in use, especially if they have connected devices.
Yes, you can use an English extension lead with a travel plug in France, provided that the travel plug is compatible with the French socket type (Type C or E). However, ensure that the voltage and amperage ratings of the devices connected to the extension lead match the French electrical standards (230V, 50Hz). Additionally, be cautious of the total load to avoid overloading the extension lead.
An extension lead has a plug on one end and a few sockets on the other end. They are used to reach appliances that are far away from the main sockets. It is very safe to use an extension cord as long as you don't overload them.
If your extension cord is truly a 30 amp cord then it is composed of #10 wire. #10 wire is rated at 30 amps. All you have to do is remove the 30 amp plug and receptacle ends from the cord and install 15 amp cord ends.
Frequencies higher than 60Hz are frequently used. Although there are radio waves lower than 60Hz, all of our radio transmissions are well above that. If you mean why frequencies for mains power supply above 60Hz can't be used, the answer is, they can. The higher the frequency though, the higher the loss although this doesn't really come into play until frequencies above several hundred Hz are used. 50Hz or 60Hz were chosen originally because of the mechanical nature or early generators.
Behringer amps are electric guitar amplifiers. They are used to amplify the sound of the guitar. There are different models for bass guitar and lead guitar.

Yes, extension cords can get wet, but it is not safe to use them when they are wet as it can lead to electric shock or damage to the cord. It is important to keep extension cords dry and away from water to prevent accidents.
