What size wire need for 70 amp at 250 ft?
#3 copper.
What wire size for 70 amp service at 240 volt?
4 copper
What happens when a 70 amp hour battery is connected to a 50 amp hour charging circuit voltage of both batteries are being same?
The 50 amp charging circuit will never be able achieve a full charge for the 70 amp hour battery, thus in effect turning the 70 amp hour battery into a 50 amp hour battery.
How many watts can a 70 amp circuit support?
That depends on the voltage.
Where can you purchase a 70 amp fuse?
70 Amp fuses can be purchased at most auto parts stores as well as stores like The Source by Circuit City and Radio Shack.
Number of 70 watt lights on a 15 amp circuit?
The formula you are looking for is Watts = Amps x Volts.
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 gage wire do you need to carry sixty amps at 12 volts?
Imperial cable 120/0.012" 60 amp Metric cable 120/0.30mm 55.5 amp 80/0.40mm 70 amp.
What size breaker should you use for a unit that draws 58 running amps?
70 amp
How do you wire 30 amp RV plug into 70 amp square d breaker box?
I mean no disrespect, but if you have to ask this question, then you should probably be calling an electrician who will be able to safely do this.
Can I replace a 15 amp breaker with a 20 amp breaker for an existing GFCI?
14 gauge wire is rated for 15 amps wich is the smallest size breaker that is used in the US. I never heard of or saw a 10 amp breaker and I am a licesened electrical contractor The 2008NEC (NFPA70) lists 16AWG copper allowed for up to a 10 amp CB, and 18AWG copper for up tpo a 7 amp CB, max current. Continuous loads must be derated to 8 amps and 5.6 amps respectively, see NFPA 70 2008, §240.4 (D) (1), (2)., but these are only going to be found in industrial applications. Would the asked be so kind as to tell us what kind of equipment the 1 amp breaker is on? 14 AWG is still the minimum for a 15amp CB in general, this change might not be wise without an electrician looking at the entire circuit.
Can you use a 15amp outlet on a 20amp circuit?
No. You aren't allowed to install a device rated greater than the circuit is rated.The 20 amp receptacle would allow you to plug in 20 amp loads (which is why it is different than a 15 amp receptacle), and plugging a 20 amp load into a 15 amp circuit would cause an overload and the 15 amp circuit breaker would trip.ADDITIONThis may still be open for discussion. According an electrician from RKO Electric, you can in fact install a 20 Amp GFCI receptacle on a 15 Amp breaker. Apparently, the breaker will trip well before the receptacle is able to pull 20 Amps of current into the line. Please see the following link from another website: http://en.allexperts.com/q/Electrical-Wiring-Home-1734/20-amp-GFCI-outlets.htm2003 NEC Code Book says:210-21(b)(1), p.70-42: A single receptacle on an individual branch circuit shall have an ampere rating of not less than that of the branch circuit. To me this indicates that if there's only one receptacle on the circuit, you can't have an outlet rated for less than the circuit, but it neither mentions nor prohibits oversizing the receptacle.210-21(3), p.70-42: Where connected to a branch circuit supplying two or more receptacles or outlets, receptacle ratings shall conform to the values listed in table 210-21(b)(3)... which says: 15amp circuit, not over15amp receptacle (
