Metal conduit must be buried to at least 6 inches.

Non-Metal conduit must be buried to at least 18 inches.

Direct bury wire must be buried to at least 24 inches.

This is what the NEC requires but your local codes may be even deeper. Check with your local utility to see what they require.

50 amp with AWG # 6 wire is normal. Read the instructions that came with the stove to make sure.

It depends on what the amperage of the connected load is. If it above 10 amps on a 15 amp breaker then make is a dedicated circuit. If it is used for lamps in the center of a room, then the floor outlet can be incorporated into the regular lighting and receptacle circuit.

3/0 gauge

Use AWG # 4 copper and you will have a 2.6% voltage drop which is acceptible.

The messenger in triplex and quad is already determined by the wire size that is wrapped around it. It is the maximum span distance that you should find for the size of over head cable that is being used.

The purpose of a conduit seal is to provide ventilation in enclosures and prevent any moisture from entering that enclosure. It prevents any liquid, vapor or gasses from getting in.

A conduit connecter is a connecting piece used to connect two individual conduit units together. Conduit connecters can refer to both electrical conduits and pipe/plumbing related conduits.

A 500 MCM copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 50 amps for 800 feet on a 120 volt system. 500 MCM wire diameter is 1/2 inch. As you can see there will be trouble getting that size wire into a 50 amp breakers lug. On installations like this to offset the voltage drop at such a low voltage, a transformer should be used at both ends. The first transformer to raise the voltage and the second transformer to lower it at the 800 foot end. If you use two 480 volt transformers a #1 wire can be used between them.

A #1 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 50 amps for 800 feet on a 480 volt system. By increasing the voltage you can see that a smaller wire size can be used.

On an installation of this nature, a primary line should be brought to the RV site and a service distribution panel established at that point and any RV vehicles can then be fed from that service.

The requirements for receptacles and any other necessary additions will usually be found on the blueprints. If they are not, its best to consult with the contractor or builder to make sure they are included.

It would be impractical to mount them high upon the wall. The child would then just pull on the wire connected to the outlet. Besides modern outlets are childproof and are required in all new homes by the Electrical Code. Older outlets can be made childproof by installing a simple plastic cap.

Yes, there is no reason why this can not be done. In fact a benefit of this is that every receptacle downstream from this new receptacle will also be protected by the GFCI receptacle.

An electrical conduit is a system for routing and protecting electrical wiring. A cable conduit can be found wherever electrical wiring is needed. This includes wiring in appliances or in the walls of a home.

Do-It-Yourself meccas Lowes and Home Depot have flexible conduits for sale online and in their physical stores. Grainger also has flexible conduits on its website.

A breaker is based on wire size, as the breaker protects the wire and not the load. This is a voltage drop question. A #3 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 60 amps for 110 feet on a 110 volt system.

There are zero watts in 7.5 amps. Watts are the product of amps times volts. W = A x V. As you can see from the equation a voltage value is missing from your question. Once a voltage value is added to the equation you can find the wattage of the device that draws 7.5 amps.

A baseboard heater will fall into this category.

Wire size is governed by amperage not voltage. Voltage is an insulation factor when talking about wire. Add up the amperage of fixtures you want in the circuit. Once that is found then the size of the wire can be calculated.

A #12 aluminium conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 15 amp. Therefore the largest size breaker to protect that wire will be a breaker rated at 15 amps.

Depends on the size of the service. 100 amp service will require 3 gauge, 150 amp service will require 1/0 gauge, and 200 amp service will require 3/0 gauge.

Some Siemens may work but remember you are responsible for any fire or lives lost that may occur from using the wrong breaker. Get Gould breakers and you will then know they are safe. Can't find Gould breakers then replace the entire service panel. That is what I would do.

Like the name suggests, a strain gauge is a device used to measure the strain of an object. The devices electrical resistance varies in proportion to the amount of strain on the device.

Outlet covers are great for many things. First, if one has small children in the home, these covers keep children from putting their fingers or other objects into the outlet. They can also keep pets away from outlets. Lastly, they are a good way to cover outlets that are not used on a regular basis, simply for aesthetic reasons.

To install a new fixture to replace the one that was removed reconnect the two hot wires together and then reconnect the two neutral wires together. Place the two wires from the new fixture to the corresponding wire colours that you just spliced together. This wiring should be down stream from the light switch. When the switch is turned on the new fixture should light. If this is not the scenario of your question then more information needs to be given.

A #10 copper conductor with an insulation rating of 90 degrees C is rated at 30 amps. The only time that a breaker larger that the load maximum capacity can used is in motor connections. A breaker can be used sized at 250% of the motor's full load amperage. In this case a 50 amp breaker can be used on a #10 conductor if the motor's full load amps falls within the amperage's of 20 - 22 amps.
