What size wire should be used to connect a 60A output from a generator to the distribution panel?
For a 60A output from a generator to a distribution panel, you would typically use a 6-gauge wire for copper or a 4-gauge wire for aluminum. Make sure to also check local electrical codes and guidelines to ensure correct sizing and safety compliance.
What wire is required for a 60A sub panel off a 150A main service?
For a 60A sub panel, you would typically use 6 AWG copper wire or 4 AWG aluminum wire to connect it to a 150A main service. Make sure to consult local electrical codes and regulations to ensure compliance.
Can you use 10 2 wire to come off a 60A double throw and run it to a sub panel with 2 spaces 20A each and be up to residential code?
No, using 10-2 wire for a 60A circuit is not up to code. For a 60A circuit, you need to use at least 6 AWG copper or 4 AWG aluminum wire. Also, the subpanel should be sized appropriately for the amperage of the circuit it is fed from. In this case, the subpanel should be at least 60A, not 20A.
What size wire for a welding extension cord 220v 50 amps?
For a 220V 50A welder, you would need a minimum of 6-gauge wire for your extension cord to ensure it can handle the current safely. It's recommended to use a heavy-duty, outdoor-rated extension cord with appropriate wire gauge and length to avoid voltage drop and overheating.
What gauge wire is required for a 60 amp breaker feeding a water heater 240 vac?
A 60A breaker will protect a very large conductor indeed, much larger than an ordinary household water heater would need. Many houses only have a single 60A main fuse!It would be pointless and dangerous to use a 60A breaker to protect an electrical cable (and appliance) rated for, say, 30 amps. So, you will need to find out the name-plate rating on the water heater before you burn something down.
What is the recommended wire size for a 60A circuit?
The recommended wire size for a 60A circuit is typically 6 AWG (American Wire Gauge) for copper wire.
What size wire for 70 amps?
Use 6/3 Romex protected by a 60A breaker. You'll never miss the other 10A.
What size wire should be used to connect a 60A output from a generator to the distribution panel?
For a 60A output from a generator to a distribution panel, you would typically use a 6-gauge wire for copper or a 4-gauge wire for aluminum. Make sure to also check local electrical codes and guidelines to ensure correct sizing and safety compliance.
How do you rest a 60a Air Conditioner Disconnect?
There is no reset on the disconnect, you will need to check the fuse's at the disconnect and replace the on that is bad. But most likely if you blew a 60 amp fuse you have a short somewhere, check your termanals at the compressor to see if the compressor went to ground.

Is a 60 amp breaker correct for a 10 kw 220 heat strip?
10 kW at 220v will use 45.45 Amps. I'd recommend a 60A circuit, with a 60A breaker, but the heater or electric furnace should have "maximum fuse amps" rated on its nameplate. Above all, neverconnect wiring to a breaker that is rated higher than the maximum current capacity of the wire. In the case of 60A, use #6 AWG wire.The HVAC Veteran
What is the purpose of a fuse in a mains circuit?
The main fuses protect the feeder lines from the electric company's feed to the main panel for the maximum ampacity rating of the wire. So depending on the size of the incoming tails nothing is gained by reducing the main supplier's cut-out fuse rating to 60A or 40A.
Can 60A service in an older home be upgraded by adding a newer subpanel or do you have to add a new panel with a bigger wire?
More than likely you'll have to get a new panel with larger wire. The power company may have to come in and upsize their wire to your house as well. And you'll have to get a larger meter can. Fun, isn't it? :)
