What else can I help you with?
Where would a 100 amp breaker be used?
In a residential application it would most likely be used as the breaker for the entire main electric panel or a subpanel feed.
Can you use a 2 pole 60 amp breaker to feed one circuit?
No, you cannot use one in place of the other.
What is the max amps for a 4 gauge wire can 4 gauge feed a 100A breaker box?
Yes, # 4 AWG copper and 100 amps is the max.
How do you add a 240 volt receptacle to 100 amp supply?
The 240 volt receptacle has to have an amperage rating. It is this rating that governs the wire size and breaker size to feed the circuit. The new two pole breaker will be inserted in the 100 amp distribution if space is available and connected to the new wiring that terminates at the new receptacle.
240v nema6-50r outlet wired with 6 gauge wire and 50 amp breaker you need to run a heater with a nema 6-30p can you simply put a 30 amp receptical in place of the 50 amp receptical?
Not legally because the rating of the 30 amp receptacle would have a 50 amp breaker ahead of it. If you reduced the feed breaker to 30 amps and still use the #6 wire, this would be within the electrical code rules.
I have a Transformer 480 primary 208 secondary feeding 1 200amp mb 42 space panel I need to feed a subpanel 6 ft away I'm thinkin feed through lug at top of bus or at feed through MB suggestions?
The sub-panel need to be fed from the main panel, by way of a circuit breaker connected to one of the breaker locations. Or if your sub-panel has a main breaker installed you can feed from the main panel with a sub-feed lug kit. This looks like a breaker, but is only a point where you can branch off the sub panel.
Which terminal on a 15 amp household breaker does the hot wire feed into and which one does it come out?
On a 15 amp household breaker there is no terminal on the in feed of the breaker. The breaker either plugs into the distribution panel's bus bar or it bolts to the distribution's bus bars. The feed conductor connects to the load side of the breaker at its terminal lug.
What is the kw input on a 50amp breaker with a 208v three phase electrical feed?
7200
Where would a 100 amp breaker be used?
In a residential application it would most likely be used as the breaker for the entire main electric panel or a subpanel feed.
What is the purpose of a back feed breaker in an electrical system?
The purpose of a back feed breaker in an electrical system is to prevent electricity from flowing back into the grid, which can cause safety hazards and damage to equipment. It helps ensure that electricity flows in the intended direction and protects the system from potential issues.
Can you use a double 30amp breaker to feed 2 15 amp?
no, load will brake at 30 not 15 as needed
Why did the breaker trip when you unscrewed a burnt out bulb?
This is a condition that should not happen under normal conditions. In North America the smallest home breaker is 15 amps. If a fault current is higher that the breaker setting the breaker will trip.The only way the breaker could have tripped is, if when screwing the bulb out, the feed wires feeding the light socket turned and shorted out against each other.Turn the power feed off and thoroughly check the feed wires. Make sure that the insulation is good all the way to the terminal points.As a side note, if the circuit that the fixture is connected to is fully loaded to say 13 amps it would only take an additional 2 amps to trip the breaker. If the bulb flashed when you started turning the bulb out, this is most likely what happened.
What is different between feeder breaker and motor breaker?
You have to be careful with terms in the electrical field, Example: Main Feeder Circuits will feed a Transformer for distribution and each of those main circuits might feed numbeous Motor control centers. However each of those circuits could be called a main feeder for the motor control center. Confusing. We have High Voltage Transmittion tansformered down for Distribution. So normally a Feeder Breaker will feed Main circuits that will be used for distribution. Example Your home panel will have a main feeder circuit to the whole panel and distribution breakers to you home.
What are breakers?
A breaker is a device that is used to connect and disconnect the buss bars of an electrical panel to the feed end of wires that feed an electrical load. The function of a breaker is to protect the wires from an overload by the use of an internal thermal trip, and to protect the load and wires from a short circuit by use of an internal magnetic trip.
What size wire to feed a panel with 50A breaker for hot tub and 20A branch circuit?
#6 3 conducter
Can you use a 2 pole 60 amp breaker to feed one circuit?
No, you cannot use one in place of the other.
Do you feed your baby threw your bellybutton?
No. You feed it breastmilk through your nipple. Alternatively, you can feed it from a bottle.
