What is the amperage limit of number 2 gauge wire?
A #2 copper wire with an insulation factor of 60, 75 and 90 degrees C is rated at 100, 115 and 120 amps respectively.
If my AC technician says my unit is rated at 28.9 amps and drawing 24.8 and should draw about half of rated capacity and that compressor needs to be replaced Is this correct?
There are several amperage ratings on AC compressors/motors. Locked Motor Amperage (LRA) is the amperage that the motor is fused for. The load of the motor is expressed in amperage or wattage, which is probably the case here. Low amperage readings on an AC unit being charged by amperage load would indicate low freon. High amperage readings indicate overcharge when charging by the amperage load. AC units are not accurately charged by amperage readings and the efficiency of motors is not expressed in amperage readings.
Why does plugging too many appilances into the same circuit cause too much current to flow through the circuit what will happen as a result?
Each appliance has its own amperage. This can be shown by looking at the label of each appliance. A circuit is protected by a breaker which has a trip limit. By continually adding more amperage from different appliances, the circuit becomes overloaded. When the circuits limit is reached because of the additive effect of more appliances to the circuit the breaker will trip. This disconnects the appliance loads from the distribution panel supply and prevents over loading of the conductors of that circuit. Without removing some of the load amperage, the breaker will keep tripping when reset.
What does volts times amperage equal?
Voltage is equal to amperage time resistance. V=IR Therefore, I'd say voltage times amperage is equal to amperage squared times resistance. VI=IIR Really there's no point in multiplying the two. However, if you were to divide voltage by amperage, you would have the resistance of the circuit. V/I=R
What is the relation between amperage and capacitance?
The relation between amperage and capacitance is that amperage is equals to capacitance times the rate of voltage change over time. This voltage refers to instantaneous voltage.
What is amperage limit of 12 gage solid copper wire?
20 Amp
What is the amperage limit of 10 gauge solid wire?
Typically 30 amps.
What is amperage?
Amperage is electric current of flow.
What is the amperage of a t2l 250v fuse?
The amperage of a T2L 250v fuse is typically 8 amps. It is a misconception that it has an amperage of 3.

Why limit the amount of electricity passing trough a circuit?
Circuits are limited for a few reasons firstly because certain size wiring can only handle so much voltage and amperage before it could fail secondly wiring heats up when more amperage is drawn through it which can create fires or burning out of the circuit most appliances draw set amount of current and amperage if you have a low amperage appliance Eg pool pump drawing 4 amps and the windings start to fail the motor can start drawing excessive amperage creating a hazard, if you had a large circuit it may never trip the breaker indicating a fault with the appliance which can cause catastrophic failure.
It is ok to use a fuse with a higher amperage rating and not ok to use a fuse with a smaller amperage rating why?

When a circuit is inductive the current has what voltage?
This doesn't make sense, "current" is "amperage" so the higher the voltage the lower the amperage, and the lower the voltage the higher the amperage.
What is the use of laboratory breakers?
Scientists can use laboratory beakers in various ways depending upon their experiment. Beakers can be used to measure liquids, hold items or even as the area to conduct an experiment in.
