What size breaker is needed for a 1100 watt microwave?
A minimum of 15-amp breaker is "needed", but a 20-amp is often required by electrical code for that situation.
What size of electrical wire needed for 100A circuit breaker?
A #3 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated for 105 amps.
What size breaker is needed for a 220 v hot water heater?
The wattage of the water tank is needed to size the breaker and the wire to feed the tank.
What is the number of cubic units needed to fill a space?
the distance around a figure is called
What size circuit breaker is needed for a 300 watt bulb?
A 15 amp circuit breaker will handle this situation very well. The smallest home breaker is rated at 15 amp.
How do you compute the size of a breaker for 38.69 kilowatts?
Wire and breakers are sized depending on the current that is to be applied to the circuit. To answer this question a voltage is needed to divide into the kilowatts to obtain this amperage. I = W/E. Once the amperage is obtained a table in the electrical code book is used to establish what the breaker size and wire size should be for that particular amperage.
How big of a circuit breaker needed for two 1500 watt that are 240 volts?
A 30 amp breaker wired with AWG #10 wire.
How do you wire a 277 to 120 volt transformer?
The voltage 277 volts is a three phase line to neutral voltage of a 480 volt system. What is needed for the protection of the transformer is a two pole breaker from the 480 volt CDP (Central Distribution Panel). The breaker will be sized to the KVA of the transformer. The wire will be sized to the breaker plus 25%. The electrical code requires that on motor and transformer feeders, they be sized to 125% of the total current capacity of the equipment.
Can you run a 40 amp breaker 65'?
This question is at cross purposes. A breaker is used to protect the conductor that is connected to it. With a distance being added into the question it turns it into a voltage drop question. Depending on what the amperage of the connected load is, a 40 amp breaker might protect the conductor. A voltage needs to be added to the question. Re-phase the question to include a voltage, and load current. For example, What size wire is needed at (voltage here) with a load amperage of (amperage here) over a distance of (distance here). Once the wire size is established then a breaker is chosen. It also helps to know what the load is, eg. motor, sub panel, transformer, because additional calculations need to be made.
What size breaker would e needed for 10.8 amps?
In standard construction this would require a 15 amp breaker and 14 gauge copper wire.
What size wire and circuit breaker is needed for an electric oven 4 wires with rated load of 34.9 amps 220v that is about 100 foot run from the electrical panel?
That would be a 40 amp 220v circuit. Circuit breaker is 40 amps and wire is 8 awg. Should use solid copper wire. Follow oven installation instructions.
What size breaker does it take to run a outdoor well?
Normally AWG #10 wire on a 30 amp breaker but it really depends on the size of the pump. The pump manufacture will specify the size wire and size breaker needed.
