A 10 AWG wire is typically only rated for 30 amps, but conditions such as length of run, whether the wire is to be used in a "plenum", temperature and other factors may affect the type of wire that you must use for a specific application.
If you have any questions, contact a qualified electrician or your local building inspector.
AWG # 10
AWG 12 will suffice.
What size is the wire? AWG 10, 600V is rated for 30 amps. Any AWG less than 6 would also be ok for a 30 amp circuit....
For typical residential house wiring 12 AWG wire is required for a 20 Amp breaker. If you change out the breaker for a 25 A breaker you would have to rewire the circuit with 10 AWG. In that case you could up the breaker to 30 Amps. All outlets and switches should be rated at the same voltage and current as the breaker.
Yes, if you are using AWG # 10 wire. If you are using AWG # 12 then the answer is no you must use a 20 amp breaker. On AWG #14 wire you must use a 15 amp breaker.
AWG # 10
The amp rating for a 10 AWG wire is typically around 30-40 amps.
The amp rating of 10 AWG wire is typically around 30 to 40 amps.
The correct size fuse needed is based on the size wire used in the circuit. The size wire needed is based on the load that will be applied to the circuit. 1. AWG 14/2 wire = 15 amp fuse 2. AWG 12/2 wire = 20 amp fuse 3. AWG 10/2 wire = 30 amp fuse 4. AWG 8/2 wire = 40 amp fuse
Use AWG #10 wire on a 20 amp breaker.
AWG 12 will suffice.
The appropriate gauge size for a 10 amp wire in a residential electrical circuit is typically 14 AWG (American Wire Gauge).
For a 30 amp 240 volt circuit, a wire size of 10 AWG should be used.
The recommended size for a 50 amp ground wire in electrical installations is typically 10 AWG (American Wire Gauge).
The recommended size of the ground wire for a 60 amp electrical circuit is typically 10 AWG (American Wire Gauge).
For a 220V 20 amp circuit, the appropriate wire size is typically 10 AWG (American Wire Gauge) for copper conductors.
