Is it possible to operate two 1300 W hairdryers on a 120 V circuit without blowing a fuse?
1300 watts on a 120 volt circuit is 10.8 amps. Since most circuits are built with 15 or 20 amp breakers, no.
Rdrsh is correct. If both outlets you plan on using are on the same circuit and you have nothing else on, you might be able to run both at the same time for a short period of time if it is a 20 amp circuit. If it is a 15 amp circuit, no way will it work. However if you have a couple of 100 watt lights on then you will have a total of over 20 amps draw and it will trip the breaker. You need to have these of separate circuits.
What else can I help you with?
Is it possible to power a light bulb by screwing it in to an non powered circuit?
If the circuit has no voltage applied to it, nothing within that circuit is going to operate.
How did early circuit breakers operate?
Circuit breakers operate. is the operetion of the break of the circuit. FORMULA : f(x) = m x+b
Is it possible to operate two 1300watt hairdryers on a 120volt circuit without blowing a fuse?
well if you have a 30 amp breaker yes. 1300 watts is basically 120 volts at 10.8 amps. most common house hold breaker are 15 amp or 20 amp. so if you are honestly pushing a breakers limits with one hair dryer let alone two. a 15 amp breaker it capable of making 1800 watts. also you have to take into account that the power you are using is making heat which actually draws more then a normal device that's rated at 1300 watts hope i helped
What pushes the current around the circuit?
A voltage supply is needed to operate a circuit.
What happens when a circuit is closed?
when a circuit is closed, electricity can move though it.
Is it possible to have a turbo timer hold open a circuit on a BA falcon and still be able to use the keyless remote?
It is not possible to have a turbo timer hold open a circuit on a BA Falcon and still be able to use the keyless remote. The turbo timer must be on a close circuit at all times for keyless remote to operate.?æ
What jobs dose a battery do in the circuit?
The purpose of the battery in a circuit is to wive energy to the circuit
Can a dishwasher and disposal be on the same circuit?
No, a dishwasher and disposal should not be on the same circuit as they both require a dedicated circuit to operate efficiently and safely.
Does a microwave need a dedicated circuit in order to operate safely and efficiently?
Yes, a microwave typically requires a dedicated circuit to operate safely and efficiently. This ensures that the microwave has enough power and does not overload the circuit, reducing the risk of electrical hazards.
How does a thermal overload control a circuit when the phase short to ground?
If you are describing a circuit breaker then its electromagnetic trip component will operate in the event of a line*-to-ground (*not 'phase'!) short circuit. The thermal overload component will only operate in the event of a sustained overload.
Differecne between synchronous circuit and a asynchronous circuit?
Synchronous circuits operate under the influence of s clock pulse while asynchronous circuits operate without the influence of a clock pulse
What is the function of the positive terminal in an electrical circuit?
The positive terminal in an electrical circuit serves as the point where current flows into the circuit from an external power source, providing the energy needed for the circuit to operate.
