Yes, typically electric dryers require two 30 amp fuses to operate properly. These fuses protect the dryer from electrical overload and should be installed in the dryer's electrical circuit. It's important to check the dryer's manual or consult with a professional to ensure the correct fuses are used.
What else can I help you with?
How do you wire an older 2 wire 30 amp compressor to a 3 wire 30 amp dryer plug?
I am guessing that the dryer is 220-240 VAC as is the compressor. I also assume that the third wire on the dryer is a ground. You need to make sure that the metal chassis on the compressor is not connected to the two wires. You then need to create a covered junction box where you have the two existing wires and a ground wire that you connect to the compressor metal chassis with a screw type connector. Ground wire should be 10 AWG. Now you have three wires. Connect the two hot wires of supply to two original wires on compressor and ground wire to the chassis ground.
How do you run a clothes dryer line to a fuse box that has glass fuses if there are 2 in the box that are not being used?
You need a 220V cartridge fuse block open, not just two 110V fuses. Fusing a 220V device with two 110V fuses at the panel is dangerous and doesn't meet code. If you have a 220V fuse block open, simply wire the two hots to the block, and then wire the neutral and ground normally. If you have fuses make sure the box and the feed can handle a clothes dryer. It may be wise to have an electrician evaluate the system for safety.
Can an electric range be powered from the same circuit as an electric dyer?
No. The two appliances usually have dedicated circuits. The range will have a two pole 40 amp breaker and be fed with a 3-C #8 copper cable. The dryer will have a 30 amp two pole breaker and be fed with a 3-C # 10 copper cable. As you can see by powering a 40 amp device from a 30 amp breaker, full operation of the range will trip the 30 amp breaker.
What is the difference of a 20 amp s fuse and another 20 amp fuse?
There should be no difference between two 20-amp fuses. A 20-amp fuse is designed to handle up to 20 amps of current before blowing, so as long as both fuses are properly rated for 20 amps, they should have the same functionality and performance. However, it's important to consider the quality and reliability of the manufacturer when choosing fuses to ensure they meet safety standards.
Is 60 amps enough to run a household dryer?
60 amps is twice the amount that you need for a household dryer. What you need is a two pole 30 amp breaker feeding a three conductor #10 cable. A dryer needs a neutral wire, hence the three wire cable for a 240 volt device.
Separate panel box for a dryer and the fuses were removed they were glass fuses but you are unsure if they are suppose to be two 15 amp?
Two 15 amp glass fuses should be sufficient to run a dryer. That's probably the most common size used. If you're really unsure, start with a couple of 10 amp fuses. If the burn out, them move up to the 15's.
Does 2 fuses in parallel increase the amp rating?
yes two fuses in parallel will increase the amp rating but its not a good practice try to get the proper fuse!
Why doesn't the horn and turn signals work on a Honda 500 Nighthawk?
Check the fuses in the fuse box. Two or more fuses may be blown. There are six 10 Amp and two 15 Amp fuses in the box, which is located under the head light behind the horns at the front of the bike.
What could be wrong with your clothes dryer if it no longer heats but just spins and blows cool air?
Often there are two fuses for an electric dryer. One of them is for the heating element, and the other is for the motors. Check both fuses. If they both are good, the heating element might be bad, or an internal circut breaker might need to be reset.
