What gauge wire should be used with a 60amp circuit breaker?
Use AWG # 6 wire.
Where should red colour wire be attached in a plug pin?
There is insufficient information to answer your question. A red wire can be used as a switch leg, it could also be the other half of a 240 V circuit or even the feed for a fan circuit, just to name a few possibilities.
Can the white wire be used as a switched leg?
No, not in the North American electrical system. Opening up a neutral on a three wire circuit could create a series circuit if two devices are plugged into the same receptacle. This is how kitchen counter receptacles are wired in all new homes.
Can an iron nail replace a wire in a circuit?
An iron nail can replace a short length of wire in a circuit if the points of contact of the nail to the rest of the circuit have no rust or corrosion and good connection can be made. Using solder to join the nail to the circuit can help make a good connection. However, if this is for a scientifically controlled experiment fine as long as its very low voltage. If you are considering high voltage . DO NOT ATTEMPT IT. Its extremely dangerous
How do you change wire fuse for circuit breaker?
A circuit breaker does not have a wire fuse in it.
Could 12 gauge wire is used on a 20 amp circuit at 120V?
Yes.
What could be the reason the hazard fuse keeps blowing when you replace it?
You have a short or an over current condition in the circuit. It could be a wire touching metal, a bad bulb, etc.
Can one use 1 circuit of a 3 wire plus ground 2 circuit cable as a GFI circuit with the other as a lighting circuit?
A GFCI can not be used on a three wire branch circuit. It has to be on a single two wire circuit.
What is one thing that you could do to the wire used in a circuit to decrease the amount of resistance bulb by the wire?
Use thicker wire. Doubling the diameter gives one quarter the resistance.
What effect would thinner wire have in a circuit?
The smaller the wire size used in a circuit limits the amount of current that is allow to be flow through that circuit.
Why are circuit symbols used when drawing electric circuit?
It is often necessary to wire crossing
What is the danger if you replace a 15 amp circuit breaker with a 25 ampere breaker?
If the wire used on the circuit is sized for 15 amps (usually 14 gauge) you run a very serious risk of fire.If the wire used on the circuit is sized for 25 amps (usually 10 gauge, good for 30 amps) there is no increased danger.Additional InformationIf you don't know if the wire is sized for 25 amps, DON'T DO IT!A 25 amp circuit would require 10 AWG wire. The fire hazard mentioned above is real and you shouldn't ignore that advice.
What gauge wire should be used with a 60amp circuit breaker?
Use AWG # 6 wire.
What part of speech is the word wire?
Noun usually. but it is used as a verb, as in "I will wire the lamps into the circuit."
What will happen if a thick copper wire is used in fuse?
If a thick copper wire is used in a fuse then by definition of a fuse this device would no longer be defined as a fuse. A fuse in a circuit is used to protect the conductors feeding the load of that circuit. The circuit, if using a thick copper wire in a fuse, would then be considered as a non fused circuit.
Where should red colour wire be attached in a plug pin?
There is insufficient information to answer your question. A red wire can be used as a switch leg, it could also be the other half of a 240 V circuit or even the feed for a fan circuit, just to name a few possibilities.
What type of wire gauge is used for a 30amp circuit?
10 gauge
