Why do we use thicker wires for heaters than for lamps?

Heaters draw a lot more amperage. As your amperage increases, so does resistance to the flow of the current. Too much resistance, and your wire overheats, melts the casing, and can potentially catch fire.


What is more important for amperage rating wire size or insulation temperature rating?

Wire size determines how much current can be safely conducted. Insulation type and rating determines other factors, such as where the wire can be used and maximum voltage. It should be noted that the high voltage lines that are hanging from the really large electrical towers are among a class of wires that have NO insulation around the outside of the wire. They are instead, connected to the towers with large insulators that prevent electrical energy from being lost through the towers.

It seems your question got cut off. If you could provide more context or complete the question regarding amperage, I would be happy to help!


How many amps can you run with 350 ft of wire?

The maximum amperage that can be run through a wire depends on the wire gauge and the insulation. Generally, with 350 ft of wire, you need to consider the wire gauge (or thickness) to determine the maximum safe amperage. It is recommended to consult with an electrician to determine the appropriate wire size for the specific application and amperage requirements.

How do fuses protect wires from overheating?

The fuses restrict the amperage (electrical current/flow) of the circuit. The fuse is size according to wire size and load requirements. NEVER put in an over-sized fuse as it will allow to much amperage for the circuit which will cause overheating of the circuit and possible fire.


What are three factors determine how much water is needed to cook rice?

Three factors to determine how much water is needed to cook rice are: 1. What type of rice you are cooking. 2. How much rice is being cooked. 3. How well the lid fits on the pot that you are using.


What factors determine how much the wind bends?

The main factors that determine how much the wind bends are the wind speed, the density of the air, the presence of obstacles in the wind's path, and the Coriolis effect caused by the Earth's rotation. These factors can cause the wind to curve and change direction as it moves through the atmosphere.


What three things can determine whether light is absorbed or transmitted?

The three main factors that determine whether light is absorbed or transmitted are the wavelength of the light, the properties of the material it interacts with (e.g., transparency or opacity), and the thickness of the material. These factors determine how much of the light is absorbed and how much is transmitted through the material.


How much amperage can a 60-VA transformer put out?

To determine the amperage output of a transformer, you need to know the voltage it operates at. Assuming a standard voltage of 120 volts for a household transformer, you can use the formula Amperage = VA / Voltage. In this case, a 60-VA transformer operating at 120 volts would output 0.5 amperes (A) of current.
