What else can I help you with?
How many amps equal 1 circuit?
80% of the rated circuit. 10 amp circuit is 8 amps, 20 amp circuit is 16 amps, etc.
How many amps does a microwave oven draw?
1100 watts or about ten amps then another 3 to 4 amps for turn table light and fan
Do you need a 20 amp circuit for microwave?
That depends on the amount of current that the microwave draws. Calculate the current draw of the microwave, then do not use more than 80% of the circuit breaker that you put in circuit. More information: In the United States, kitchen counter top receptacles are required to be fed from at least 2 - 20 amp "small appliance" circuits. You may have more and I know of no requirement that additional circuits must be 20 amps. With this in mind, consider what Redbeard has answered. However, in my experience the term "small appliance circuit" is usually ASSUMED to be 20 amps because very rarely are more than the 2 required circuits installed. Your inspecting jurisdiction may make this assumption. They are the final arbiter of what the code means.
What wire size in a 20 amp 250 volt circuit?
The wire rating for a # 12 wire is 20 amps. If you are going to continuously load the circuit you need to de-rate the wire by 80%. This brings the current down to 20 x .8 = 16 amps. The wire rating of a # 10 wire is 30 amps. 30 x .8 = 24 amps.
How many lights on 20 amp circuit?
Provided you use wire that is rated for 20 amps.
How many amps equal 1 circuit?
80% of the rated circuit. 10 amp circuit is 8 amps, 20 amp circuit is 16 amps, etc.
How many 15 amp outlets can be safely installed on a 20 amp circuit?
On a 20 amp circuit, it is safe to install up to 13 outlets that are rated for 15 amps each.
What is the maximum current capacity of the circuit breaker rated at 150 amp?
The maximum current capacity of a circuit breaker rated at 150 amps is 150 amps.
What is the maximum amperage rating for a circuit breaker that can safely protect a 20 amp circuit?
The maximum amperage rating for a circuit breaker that can safely protect a 20 amp circuit is 20 amps.
How many amps does a microwave use?
A typical microwave rated at 1100 watts uses 10 amps of power. This is calculated by dividing the number of watts by the voltage of 110.
What is the maximum current rating for the circuit breaker, rated at 150 amps?
