This will depend on your country and of course on your mains voltage.
In New Zealand, 230v AC, 60 Amp would be a common mains fuse for a residence.
What else can I help you with?
Does the NEC provide minimum or maximum standards?
Minimum
If service is fed with service entrance conductors of 500 MCM THHN copper and fused at 400 amps What would be the minimum size of a copper grounding electrode conductor?
For a service rated at 400 amps using 500 MCM THHN copper conductors, the minimum size for a copper grounding electrode conductor (GEC) can be determined using the National Electrical Code (NEC) guidelines. According to NEC Table 250.66, for a service of 400 amps, the minimum size for a copper GEC is 4 AWG. However, if the GEC is connected to a ground rod, it must be a minimum of 6 AWG copper.
What are the recommended mounting heights for electrical devices?
There is no minimum height specified by the NEC.
Are there any cases where the load can exceed the branch circuit ampere rating?
No Article 210 in the NEC
The nec requires that continuous load calculations be increased by an additional percent volt-ampere rating?
25
What information can be found in the NEC grounding table?
The NEC grounding table provides information on the minimum size of grounding conductors based on the type and size of electrical equipment being used.
What article in the NEC states the minimum size conductor for industrial branch circuits?
The minimum size conductor for industrial branch circuits is typically addressed in Article 210.19(A) of the National Electrical Code (NEC), which provides guidance on conductor sizing for branch circuits. It's important to refer to the specific version of the NEC that is currently adopted in your location, as code requirements may vary.
What size wire to pull 6 amps 70 feet?
NEC 310.16 conductor ampacities NEC 240.4(D) For residential installations the smallest wire to be used is 14 AWG (15 amps rating) and for commercial installations the smallest wire to be used is 12 AWG (20 amp rating)
What information can I find in the NEC wire gauge chart?
The NEC wire gauge chart provides information on the recommended wire sizes for different electrical applications based on factors such as current capacity, voltage rating, and insulation type.
What is the smallest size wire that can be installed in a parallel permitted by the nec?
The National Electrical Code (NEC) permits a minimum wire size of 14 AWG for general lighting and receptacle circuits in parallel installations.
Do most kitchens have a 20amp outlet?
By today's NEC standards, all kitchens are required to have to have a minimum of two 20 amp circuits.
Is it legal under NEC to extend a 480 volt 3 phase 20 amp circuit with different size conductors for L1 L2 and L3 as long as the gauge meets the circuits ampacity requirements?
I assume your sizing the 20 amp from the breaker? NEC 240.3 states minimum conductor size for the rated ampacity of the circuit breaker. In this case, minimum size for 20 amp breaker is 12 AWG. I assume you are wiring a motor? I suggest you size your over current in accordance with NEC, start reading around NEC 430.
