The recommended gauge for a 30 amp wire in a residential electrical circuit is typically 10 AWG (American Wire Gauge).
10 gauge
A 220V 30A circuit typically requires three conductors: two hot wires and one ground wire. An additional neutral wire may be needed depending on the specific electrical configuration or equipment being used.
The maximum amperage capacity of a 30-amp breaker is 30 amps. This capacity is determined based on the rating of the breaker, which is designed to trip and disconnect the circuit if the current exceeds 30 amps, protecting the electrical system from overloading.
you have a short somewhere on that circuit. you need to find it and repair it.
Answer for UK, Europe and countries running a 50 Hz supply service.A ring circuit has two routes to each outlet, a radial has only one.
In Europe we would like to see that on 6mm square conductors
Get naked and all will be well
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.
No... it has a 30Amp circuit breaker located in the fuse box. It is an automatic reset type 'breaker that will reset to closed once it cools down.
It depends on the voltage of the 30-amp circuit, which has to be 208 or 240 v, and it also depends on how much current the cook top takes, which must be less than 30 amps. If those two conditions are met you can use the existing circuit.
It is located above the fuse panel inside the left kick panel, just left of the hood release. You need little hands to get to it.
The minimum wire size for a 30Amp breaker is typically 10 AWG for copper wire and 8 AWG for aluminum wire, according to the National Electrical Code (NEC). This wire size is necessary to safely carry the amount of current without overheating.
