The maximum current capacity in American Wire Gauge (AWG) for a 50-amp circuit is typically AWG 6.
The recommended wire size for a 50 amp electrical circuit is typically 6-gauge wire.
The recommended amperage for a circuit protected by a 50-amp breaker is 80 of the breaker's rating, which is 40 amps.
NO must be 50amp
It depends on the power draw of each electric heater. Make sure to check the amp rating of each heater and ensure that the total amperage of all three heaters does not exceed the circuit's 50A capacity to prevent tripping the main breaker.
50amp but if considering the breaker cannot withstand starting current you need to size the breaker up.
For a 50 Amp welding machine, it is recommended to use an Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB) with a capacity of at least 63 Amps to ensure it can handle the load safely. Additionally, the ELCB should have a sensitivity rating of 30 mA to provide adequate protection against earth faults. Always consult local electrical codes and a qualified electrician to ensure compliance and safety.

A circuit breaker of 30 amps will protect a 30 amp load . you may have a 1000 amps service it does not matter because the 30 amps breaker will open up at 30 amps therefore safe. OF COURSE THE OTHER WAY AROUND WILL NEVER WORK. Just check to make sure that the wire from the 30 amp breaker is a #10 or larger. If it was a 50 amp plug originally more that likely the wire will be a #6. As the answer above states it is safe.
The recommended wire size for a 50 amp breaker is typically 6-gauge wire.
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.Yes, a 240v 50amp circuit can be changed to a 120v 30amp circuit. The wire for the 50 amp circuit should be a #6. This is more than ample for a 30 amp circuit. Remove the two pole 60 amp breaker and replace it with a single pole 30 and a single pole 15 amp breaker. One of the two #6 wires will be terminated on the neutral bus (if there is a white use it) and the other #6 will be terminated on the new 30 amp breaker. This will give you the required 120 volt 30 amp circuit. The new 15 amp breaker that was installed just to fill the hole from the two pole 60 amp breaker will give you a spare 15 amp circuit. I have no idea what you are trying to do, but there is no way you can change 220v 50 amp to 120v 30 amp. You can take 220 volt input in the top of your circuit breaker box. Then half of one side will be 120v and half of the other side will be 120v. You can install a 30 amp fuse. You should hire an electrician.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energizedIF YOU ARE NOT REALLY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
