How many amps is a 3 hp 240 volt motor use?

AWG #10 copper on a 30 amp breaker.


Can you connect 460Vac motor to 480Vac circuit?

Yes, the 440 volt motor is withing the 10% voltage range of the 460 volt group. When the supply is said to be 480 volts, usually it is lower than what it is stated to be. Once the motor is connected check the current against the motor's nameplate amperage.


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.


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.


How is a 15 amp 277 volt lighting circuit wired at the panel?

The voltage of 277 volts is the wye voltage of a three phase 480 volt distribution. In the 480 volt CDP (Central Distribution Panel), you will need a 600 volt rated single pole 15 amp breaker installed in the CDP. The load will be connected to the output terminal of the breaker and the other conductor will be connected to the neutral bus in the CDP. The minimum size conductor for the 15 amp circuit will be a #12 copper conductor.

What is the appropriate size of a breaker needed for a 240-volt circuit that requires a 50 amp breaker?

For a 240-volt circuit that requires a 50 amp breaker, the appropriate size of the breaker needed is 50 amps.


How volts comes from a 20amps breaker?

On most residential circuit breaker boxes in North America, each individual breaker represents one 120-volt circuit. Two breakers ganged together represent a 240-volt circuit.


What circuit breaker to install for 10 amp 250 volt circuit?

For a 10 amp, 250 volt circuit, you should install a circuit breaker rated for at least 10 amps and 250 volts. A common option would be a single-pole, 10 amp circuit breaker designed for 240-250 volt applications. Be sure to check the specifications and compatibility with your specific electrical panel.


Can you use a 2 pole breaker for a 120 volt single phase circuit?

No, a 2 pole breaker is designed for a 240-volt circuit or for two separate 120-volt circuits that are out of phase with each other. For a 120-volt single-phase circuit, you would typically use a single-pole breaker.


Which motor would have higher current flow 2 ohms motor in a 6 volt circuit or a 3 ohm momtor in a 12 volt circuit?

expecto patronum! ~:)


What is the requirement for energizing a 120 volt circuit breaker?

Before energizing a breaker for a circuit, the circuit has to be clear of any short circuits or grounds. This can be accomplished by the use of a megger on the correct voltage setting.


Why will too many electrical devices operating at one time after blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker?

The load exceeds the limit of the breaker or fuse. For example a 20 amp breaker on a 120 volt circuit will handle 2400 watts. Exceed that wattage and the breaker will trip or the fuse will blow.


How many amps is a 3 hp 240 volt motor use?

AWG #10 copper on a 30 amp breaker.


Do you need to change your circuit breaker if you plug in a 230 volt window ac?

Yes, you may need to change your circuit breaker to one that can handle the higher voltage required for a 230 volt window AC unit. It's important to have a circuit breaker that is compatible with the voltage and amperage requirements of the appliance to ensure proper function and safety.


How many volts can you draw off of a 15amp breaker?

It's the amps that are controlled by the breaker not the volts. You can have a 600 volt 15 amp breaker, you can have a 347 volt 15 amp breaker. The breaker will trip when you exceed 15 AMPS.


How many amps would it take to kick a 15 amp breaker with 7 ohms resistance on a 277 volt circuit?

A 15 amp circuit breaker should trip at 15 amps regardless of the load voltages or impedances. If you have 277 volts and 7 ohms, the current would be 39.5 amps and a 15 amp circuit breaker should trip.


Can i wire a 7.2 volt motor up to a 18 volt battery will it just burn the motor out?

you can but if you do, you will/might: A) kill the motor,B)overload your 18 volt power supply, and C) maybe short a breaker if your power supply is also an ac to dc converter
