Breaker sizing is dependant on what the load amperage is that the breaker is connected to. If the amperage is not given but just the wattage, use this equation I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. This air conditioner unit should be on a dedicated circuit receptacle. On these types of loads the conductor can only be loaded to 80% of the conductors rating. So a 15 amp breaker times 80% = 12 amps or Watts = Amps x Volts, 12 x 120 = 1440 watts. A 20 amp breaker times 80% = 16 amps or Watts = Amps x Volts, 16 x 120 = 1920. Once the breaker is sized remember to use the correct wire size to correspond with the amperage of the breaker.
In standard construction this would require a 15 amp breaker and 14 gauge copper wire.
The breaker you use is determined by the size of the wire in the wall not by what is being connected to that circuit. If you have 14/2 wire then use a 15 amp breaker. If you have 12/2 wire then use a 20 amp breaker. The breaker protects the wiring not the item connected.
A 100-A sub-panel would be fed from a 100-A breaker.
Depends on the wire size you are using. If the generator breaker is a 30 amp then install a 30 amp breaker.
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.
The recommended AC breaker size for a 240V air conditioning unit is typically 20 amps.
The appropriate mini split breaker size for your air conditioning unit depends on the unit's electrical requirements. It is recommended to consult the unit's specifications or an electrician to determine the correct breaker size for safe and efficient operation.
There should be a label inside the panel that tells you how many amps it will draw. If you can't find it, contact the place you bought it or consult an electrictian.
The formula you are looking for is I = W/E.
The breaker size for a 160KVA UPS would depend on the specific model and manufacturer specifications. It is recommended to consult the UPS installation manual or contact the manufacturer to determine the correct breaker size for your specific UPS model.
The breaker size for a Goulds Century pump 1081 would depend on the specific model and voltage requirements. Refer to the owner's manual or the nameplate on the pump motor for the correct breaker size recommended by the manufacturer. It is important to match the breaker size with the electrical requirements to ensure safe operation.
depends on the size of the unit you want to use and the size of the window plus how many rooms you are trying to keep cool and if the unit is energy efficient and depends on how much you are willing to spend on the unit
In standard construction this would require a 15 amp breaker and 14 gauge copper wire.
For a 50 amp breaker, you would typically need a 6-gauge wire.
To answer this question a voltage value must be given. Circuit breakers protect the conductors that feed the load. The lower the voltage value, the higher the current value, hence a larger the wire size is needed and therefore larger the breaker size for the circuit. In reverse the higher the voltage value, the lower the current value, hence a smaller the wire size can be used therefore smaller the breaker size for the circuit.
The breaker you use is determined by the size of the wire in the wall not by what is being connected to that circuit. If you have 14/2 wire then use a 15 amp breaker. If you have 12/2 wire then use a 20 amp breaker. The breaker protects the wiring not the item connected.
For a TNIA 10 (Thermal Magnetic Circuit Breaker), the appropriate breaker size would depend on the specific requirements and rating of the circuit it is protecting. The breaker size should be chosen to match the maximum current rating of the circuit it is installed on to ensure proper protection against overcurrent. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's specifications and guidelines for selecting the correct breaker size for the TNIA 10.
