A circuit breaker is designed to "trip" when more than its rated current passes through the breaker. The current is caused by the 120V across a load of a certain resistance. The wire conducting the current must be sized to the current. For 15 amps you need 14 gauge wire. The breaker will be labeled and will have a current and voltage rating printed on the breaker.
What else can I help you with?
Do you need a special plug for a 120 volt 20 amp circuit?
Yes, you will need a special plug for a 120 volt 20 amp circuit. The plug should match the configuration of the receptacle to ensure proper connection and safety. Consider consulting with an electrician to determine the appropriate plug for your specific circuit requirements.
What wire size needed for 120 volt 3000 watt load?
AWG # 10 wire on 30 amp circuit.
How many outlets can run off 1 gfi outlet?
Eight on a 15 amp circuit, tweleve on a 20 amp circuit, including the gfci receptacle itself.
What is 50 millivolts equal to in milli amps?
Milli volt is one thousandth of a Volt and Milli amp is one thousandth of an Amp. Volt and Amp measure two different things and are not really comparable. Over simplified, here is how it works. Volt measures the 'pressure' that causes current to flow. Current flow is measured in Amps and depends on the how much resistance the 'pressure' has to overcome. Higher the resistance, lesser the current (Amp) for same pressure (Volt)
What size amp circuit breaker should be used for a well?
A 15-amp circuit breaker is typically used for a well pump that operates on a 120-volt power supply. For well pumps that operate on a 240-volt power supply, a 20-amp circuit breaker is typically used. It's important to check the manufacturer's specifications for the exact amp rating required for your specific well pump.
What is the total resistance of a parallel circuit with branch voltages of 440 volt and 440 volt and branch currents of 4 amp and 16 amp?
resistance = volt / current . 440 volt across a parallel circuit means the same 440 volt across both resistance s. hence resistance r = volt / current . 440 / 20 amp = 27.5 ohms total resistance
Do you need a special plug for a 120 volt 20 amp circuit?
Yes, you will need a special plug for a 120 volt 20 amp circuit. The plug should match the configuration of the receptacle to ensure proper connection and safety. Consider consulting with an electrician to determine the appropriate plug for your specific circuit requirements.
Can you plug a 2400 watt in a 15 amps?
No. A 120 volt 15 amp service will handle a maximum of 1,800 watts. Even a 20 amp service will only handle 2400 watts and that is at max load which you should never load on a 20 amp circuit. You will need a 30 amp 120 volt or 240 volt service for 2400 watts.
What wire size needed for 120 volt 3000 watt load?
AWG # 10 wire on 30 amp circuit.
Is One volt is the pressure required to force one amp of current through a circuit that has 1 Ohm of resistance?
yes
Will a 120 volt circuit carrying a 2200 watt load blow a 15 amp fuse?
It will draw over 18 amps and will blow a 15 amp fuse.
How many outlets can run off 1 gfi outlet?
Eight on a 15 amp circuit, tweleve on a 20 amp circuit, including the gfci receptacle itself.
Can you plug a 120 Volt 30 Amp tanning bed into a 125 Volt 30 Amp outlet?
yes
What is the maximum power capacity of a 15 amp 120 volt outlet?
The maximum power capacity of a 15 amp 120 volt outlet is 1800 watts.
What is 50 millivolts equal to in milli amps?
Milli volt is one thousandth of a Volt and Milli amp is one thousandth of an Amp. Volt and Amp measure two different things and are not really comparable. Over simplified, here is how it works. Volt measures the 'pressure' that causes current to flow. Current flow is measured in Amps and depends on the how much resistance the 'pressure' has to overcome. Higher the resistance, lesser the current (Amp) for same pressure (Volt)
What is the recommended wire size for a 30 amp 220 volt circuit?
The recommended wire size for a 30 amp 220 volt circuit is typically 10 gauge wire.
What wire size should be used for a 30 amp 240 volt circuit?
For a 30 amp 240 volt circuit, a wire size of 10 AWG should be used.
