I am assuming that this is a one and a half HP motor. To wire a 120V 20A motor the electrical code states that the conductor has to be 125% of the motor's full load amps. This equals 25 amps. There is no wire rated at 25 amps so the next size up is 30 amps. A #10 copper wire with an insulation factor of 60, 75 and 90 degrees C is rated at 30 amps. To carry this to a conclusion This #10 wire should be protected by either 60 amp non time delay fuses or 35 amp time delay fuses or a two pole 50 amp breaker.
What else can I help you with?
Could 12 gauge wire is used on a 20 amp circuit at 120V?
Yes.
What size wire for trolling motor?
The size of wire needed for a trolling motor depends on the motor's maximum amperage draw and the length of the wire run. A general guideline for a 12V trolling motor is 6-gauge wire for runs up to 10 feet, 4-gauge wire for runs up to 20 feet, and 2-gauge wire for runs over 20 feet to minimize voltage drop and ensure proper performance. Be sure to consult the manufacturer's recommendations for your specific trolling motor.
How do you wire a 120v A base emter for 120v?
To wire a 120V A base emitter for 120V, you would typically connect the emitter to the ground, the base to the input voltage source (120V), and the collector to the load. Ensure you follow proper safety precautions and consult the specific datasheet for the A base emitter you are using for correct wiring instructions.
What gauge of wire for 550V 5.1 amp 3 phase motor?
The only thing you need to know in order to size your wire is the "5.1 amp" amount.Figure on the motor drawing double on startup, so say, 10 amps, or so.18 gauge wire would pack your 5.1 amps just fine, but it is a little flimsy . . . I would use 16 gauge, instead.Of course, the insulation on the wire you select should be rated for 600 volts or more.
Is 8 gauge weld wire fencing stronger than 10 gauge wire?
Yes, 8 gauge wire is thicker and stronger than 10 gauge wire. The lower the gauge number, the thicker the wire is. Therefore, 8 gauge weld wire fencing would be stronger and more durable than 10 gauge wire fencing.
Could 12 gauge wire is used on a 20 amp circuit at 120V?
Yes.
How do you wire 240V to 120V?
What specifically are you wiring? A light bulb would operate dim, a motor will burn up. The current increases thereby requiring larger wire and current protection.
What size wire for trolling motor?
The size of wire needed for a trolling motor depends on the motor's maximum amperage draw and the length of the wire run. A general guideline for a 12V trolling motor is 6-gauge wire for runs up to 10 feet, 4-gauge wire for runs up to 20 feet, and 2-gauge wire for runs over 20 feet to minimize voltage drop and ensure proper performance. Be sure to consult the manufacturer's recommendations for your specific trolling motor.
What size wire of suitable 13amp motor?
I would recommend you use AWG # 14 gauge which is rated at 15 amps.
What size wire do you use on a fridge freezer?
12 gauge wire is used for household plugins, and 14 gauge wire is used for lights. So, 12 gauge is the size to use. But since a freezer has an electric motor, it is best to not plug anything else with a motor into the same circuit.
How do you wire a 120v A base emter for 120v?

What gauge wire for 2 hp motor?
For a 2 hp motor, it is recommended to use a wire gauge of either 12 or 10 AWG for typical household applications. However, it is always best to consult the motor's specification sheet or a qualified electrician to ensure the correct wire size is used based on the specific requirements of the motor and the installation.
Can 15 amp rated outlets be used with twelve gauge wire?
A. It's 240 volts & B. Wire size is a function of amperage. 12-gauge wire is used with 20 amperes or less. So, 12-gauge wire can be used with 120V/20A or 240V/20A. Keep in mind though that 240V in the U.S. has 2 live 120V lines so if you encounter a white wire, it's probably an unmarked live & should be repainted as black or better yet, red (to indicate the 2nd live wire).
What gauge wire should be used to run a 230v motor 90 ft away?
For a 230V motor running 90ft away, it is recommended to use at least 12-gauge wire to minimize voltage drop and ensure efficient operation. However, it is always best to consult the motor's specifications and a qualified electrician to determine the most appropriate wire gauge for your specific setup.
What size wire and breaker for a 7.5 hp motor?
For a 7.5 hp motor operating at 240V, you would typically use a 14-gauge wire and a 40 amp breaker. However, it is best to consult the motor's specifications and the National Electrical Code to determine the exact wire size and breaker needed for your specific setup.
