about 4800 watt but should not use it 100% so to be safe 4000 watt (80%)
The breaker protects the wiring not the boiler. 12,000 watts at 240 volts will require 50 amps. So, you will need a 60 amp breaker using AWG# 6 wire on a dedicated circuit.
Yes, in home wiring as long as it is protected by a 15 amp breaker. Remember this circuit will only handle 1800 watts and cannot be loaded to any more than 1440 watts. So if each light is 75 watts then the maximum you can install is 19.
A 55 watt fluorescent light only pulls 0.4 amps. Lights can be installed on a 15 amp breaker using 14/2 wire. A maximum of 1440 watts is all that is allowed on a 15 amp circuit.
Not unless you change the wiring for that circuit. The breaker protects the wiring and if you install a 40 amp breaker on a 15 amp wire circuit you will have a fire in your home.
No more than 13 maximum on a 20 amp circuit.
20-amp breakers can be found for many different voltage levels. The higher-voltage ones tend to be more expensive. A breaker can be used in a circuit of equal or lower voltage than the rated voltage of the breaker.
To answer this question a voltage must be given. Watts = Amps x Volts. <<>> Answer At 115 volts ac, 30 amps equals 3,450 watts.
2.3 kw per hour on a 110-120 volt circuit.
The breaker protects the wiring not the boiler. 12,000 watts at 240 volts will require 50 amps. So, you will need a 60 amp breaker using AWG# 6 wire on a dedicated circuit.
you just have to do some math. if the can lights are the only thing on the circuit then times the wattage of each bulb by the total bulbs and only put 80% of the circuit breaker max on the line. ie 20 amp breaker and 120 volt power equals 2400 watts max. 80% of that is 1920 watts. 15 amp breaker and 120 volt power equal 1800 watts max. 80% of that is 1440 watts. if there are already other item on the circuit then you should test the line fully loaded with an amp clamp to see what its carrying already, and then deduct that from your totals
if its a single current its 120v X 25 amp = 3000 watts
Yes, in home wiring as long as it is protected by a 15 amp breaker. Remember this circuit will only handle 1800 watts and cannot be loaded to any more than 1440 watts. So if each light is 75 watts then the maximum you can install is 19.
A 32 amp fixture can not be fed from a 20 amp breaker as the breaker will trip every time.
The load exceeds the limit of the breaker or fuse. For example a 20 amp breaker on a 120 volt circuit will handle 2400 watts. Exceed that wattage and the breaker will trip or the fuse will blow.
At 120 volts a 15 amp breaker can be loaded to 1800 watts before it will trip. If it is a continuous load then the electrical code states that it is only allowed to be loaded to 80%. This will be 1800 x .8 = 1440 watts. If the voltage is not 120 volts use the following equation Watts = Amps x Volts. Amps being the breaker size that is to be used.
20 Amp * 120 Volts = 2400 Watts 2400 Watt * 80% max use = 1920 Watts planned normal usage for a circuit with a 20 Amp breaker.
No. The breaker must protect the circuit components such as wiring, outlets and switches that are connected to the breaker. Therefore if you have a 30 amp circuit as dictated by its components you need to protect it with a 30 amp or less breaker.
