Best Answer

In North America fuse sizes are not colour coded. Manufactures have all sorts of colours and advertising on their own particular brand of fuses. What is common is the type and fuse trip size, this number is on all manufactured fuses along with the maximum voltage that the fuse can be subjected to.

How many watts does a 18 watt floresent light bulb consume?

Divide the wattage by the voltage. If it is 120Volt then the answer is .15Amp


How many 125 watt bulbs can be used on a 15amp circuit?

Assuming that your voltage is 120 volts the maximum wattage on that circuit is W = A x V = 15 x 120 = 1800 watts. Code only allows circuits to be loaded up to 80% capacity. 1800 x .8 = 1440. 1440/25 = 57 lamps. Assuming that your voltage is 240 volts the maximum wattage on that circuit is W = A x V = 15 x 240 = 3600 watts. If the question is from a 240 volt country you will have to find out what the local electrical regulations are for circuit loading.


Does surge strips provide a built-in 15amp circuit breaker?

If the circuit breaker is in the off position there is no need of overload protection. Overload protection monitors the load amperage, If there is no amperage through the circuit there is nothing to monitor.


Will a 7500watt generator start a 2hp 15amp electric planer?

Use this formula W = A x V . Assuming that the saw is using 120 volts. 15 x 120 = 1800. Start up current on a motor will draw up to 300 % instantaneously so a 2000 watt generator might just do it. It would lug at the start but then catch up and run the saw. On motor from generator uses higher wattage is better.


Is an electrical extension cord the same as a wall outlet?

The extension cord will extend the power outlet from a wall socket. The voltage will be the same at the end of the cord as it is from the socket. Be aware that extension cord may have a limit, as to how much current it can provide. The cord should be thick enough to provide as much power as the outlet can. It will then be properly protected by the circuit's fuse or breaker. A thin cord may get hot if a large consumer is plugged in, unless the cord is protected by it's own fuse at the plug end.
