What is the maximum amperage rating for a circuit breaker that can be safely used with the electrical equipment in this room, ensuring that it does not exceed the capacity of the breaker, such as a breaker 20 amp?
The maximum amperage rating for a circuit breaker that can be safely used with the electrical equipment in this room is 20 amps to ensure it does not exceed the capacity of the breaker.
What is the recommended amperage for a fuse to be used with a device that requires a 2.5A fuse?
The recommended amperage for a fuse to be used with a device that requires a 2.5A fuse is 3A.
What the breaker size require for kW?
The use of a breaker in a circuit is to protect the wire size used in the circuit from becoming overloaded. Using the wattage of the load does not help for breaker sizing because the breaker operates on amperage. Amperage can be found from wattage by using the following equation. I = W /E. Amps = Watts / Volts. As you can see the amperage can not be calculated because there is no voltage stated.
What size circuit breaker should be used on 125 feet of 4 AWG power feed?
The circuit breaker is used to protect the conductor that is connected to it from an overload condition. On a motor load the breaker has to be sized 250% of the motors full load amperage. Some circuits can be only loaded to 80% capacity and this is governed by the sizing of the breaker. Without knowing what the load amperage is, this question can not be answered.
Can you use a 30 amp breaker for a stove?
The breaker commonly used for ranges is a 40 amp. This size is used to cover the total wattage of the range. If for some reason all of the top elements and the oven were in use at the same time then the amperage drawn would be just under the trip setting of the breaker. If this same scenario were played out on the range with a 30 amp breaker supplying the power it would trip the breaker.
What size wire for 220 volt dryer from breaker to outlet?
For a 220 volt dryer, a 10-gauge wire is typically used for the connection from the breaker to the outlet. It is important to ensure that the wire matches the amperage rating of your breaker to maintain safety and efficiency in the circuit. Consulting local electrical codes and a professional electrician is recommended for accurate specifications.
What size in amperage circuit breaker should be used for a pool pump?
The size of the circuit breaker for a pool pump should be determined by the pump's current draw. The breaker should be sized to accommodate the pump's full load amperage with a 125% safety margin. Most pool pumps typically require a 15 or 20 amp circuit breaker.
How do you compute the size of a breaker for 38.69 kilowatts?
Wire and breakers are sized depending on the current that is to be applied to the circuit. To answer this question a voltage is needed to divide into the kilowatts to obtain this amperage. I = W/E. Once the amperage is obtained a table in the electrical code book is used to establish what the breaker size and wire size should be for that particular amperage.
What size amp ciruit breaker should used for a 220volt hot tub?
Typically, a 50-amp circuit breaker is recommended for a 220-volt hot tub. However, it is important to verify the manufacturer's specifications for the hot tub to ensure the correct breaker size is used. It is recommended to hire a licensed electrician for installation to ensure safety and compliance with local building codes.
Can a 40 amp breaker not a 4 amp breaker be used to replace a 35 amp breaker for ac unit?
No, it is not recommended to replace a 35 amp breaker with a 40 amp breaker for an AC unit. Breakers are designed to protect the circuit and the equipment, so using a higher rated breaker can lead to overheating and potential damage. It is best to use the correct amperage rated breaker for the equipment.
Can you put 10-3 UF cable on a 50 amp circuit breaker?
A #10 copper conductor with an insulation rating of 90 degrees C is rated at 30 amps. The only time that a breaker larger that the load maximum capacity can used is in motor connections. A breaker can be used sized at 250% of the motor's full load amperage. In this case a 50 amp breaker can be used on a #10 conductor if the motor's full load amps falls within the amperage's of 20 - 22 amps.
What size breaker should be used for a fridge?
For a standard refrigerator, a 15-20 amp circuit breaker is typically recommended.
