What is the minimum amps for a house to run a dryer?

The minimum recommended amperage for a house to run a dryer is typically 30 amps. However, it is crucial to consult the manufacturer's specifications and local electrical codes to determine the correct amperage requirement for your specific dryer model and household electrical system.


Your electric range burner spikes to 16 amps. Then drops back to 8 amps?

That's normal. It will pull more amperage when first turned on.


Can an appliance that is 115 volts 15 amps be plugged into a normal household electrical outlet in the untied states?

Yes, an appliance that is 115 volts 15 amps can be plugged into a normal household electrical outlet in the Untied States of America, also available in Canada. LOL


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.

What size breaker is needed for a 125 hp motor?

It depends on what the amperage of the motor is. The motors amperage depends on the voltage of the motor. The higher the voltage the motor operates on the lower the amperage. So unless the amperage from the motor's nameplate is stated an answer can not be given.Just remember that the feeder capacity to the motor has to be 125% of the motors full load amperage and the breaker protecting the conductors to the motor has to be rated at 250% of the motors FLA. This higher breaker size allows the motor to start without tripping a normal size breaker that is rated for the lower conductor size.

Can a 1100w mini oven safely be used plugged Ino a standard household socket?

A 1100 watt oven can be plugged into a standard household socket. Using the formula for computing wattage which is the voltage at the outlet, (120 volts A.C.) times the Amperage,(unknown, although you could look at the label on the back or bottom of the appliance) yoiu would get the wattage. Volts times amperage equals wattage. This can be looked at also as wattage divided by the voltage to get the amperage or current. If the amperage is below 15 it is okay to plug it in. Some kitchen outlets are rated higher like 20 amps but most outlets are 15 amp. 1100 watts divided by 120 volts gives you about 9 amps, well within the limits of the electrical circuit.
