What is the Minimum branch circuit wire size in a dwelling?
The minimum size home wiring is #14 AWG, the rating for that size wire is 15 amps.
Explain the rules for GFCIs in bathroom wire size wiring?
NEC states that all GFCI's require a 20 amp circuit, the wire size for a 20 amp circuit is 12 gauge.
What is the minimum branch-circuit wire size installed in a dwelling?
The minimum size home wiring is #14 AWG, the rating for that size wire is 15 amps.
What size romex for 5000 watt dryer?
Assuming 220 volts service 5000/220 = 22.72 Amps. That equates to 10 AWG Romex.
What is the minium branch -circuit wire size that may be installed in a dwelling?
Under modern code, the 14 AWG copper conductor is the smallest branch-circuit wiring size, based upon 15A overcurrent protection.
What size fuse for 12v battery?
The fuse you use is determined by the load on the circuit and the size wiring used in that circuit not the battery voltage.
How much wattvoltage rough estimate would a house need for - 10 50W lights 1 TV 1 refrigerator 1 wall unit air conditioner 1 microwave 1 washing machine?
you will need 1-15 amp circuit 120 volts with 14 guage romex wire for lights / you will need 1- 20 amp circuit with 12/2 romex going to receptacle that microwave will plug into in Virginia this has to be a dedicated circuit meaning nothing else but microwave can be plugged into this receptacle. the same rules apply also to the washer and the refrigerator as the microwave. the t.v. also should have 1-20amp receptacle to plug in to but this doesn't have to be a dedicated circuit and other items can be plugged into this receptacle such as vcr's lamps etc. you did not say whether you were planning on having a 120 volt air conditioner or a 230 volt a/c but either way you will need a dedicated circuit with either 1-20amp receptacle using 12/3 romex wire or 1-30amp receptacle using 10/2 romex wire. be sure to match your breaker size to your wire size 14/2 wire size = 15amp breaker 12/2 wire size = 20amp breaker and 10/2 wire size = 30amp breaker. so if this is a new install you will need a total of 6 new breakers i can not give you the wattage or power consumption for anything but the lights which will pull about 500 watts if all on at the same time pulling about 4.3amps

Can you use a different size fuse in your Yamaha zuma 50?
Positively not. Never ever use a different size fuse in a circuit. The fuse is there to protect the wiring in the circuit from overheating and catching on fire.

What can cause fuses to blow?
Overloading the circuit, short in the wiring, or incorrect fuse installed which is too small for the circuit. Always use the correct size fuse.

Under modern code, the 14 AWG copper conductor is the smallest branch-circuit wiring size, based upon 15A overcurrent protection.
What gauge romex for outlets?
Romex is a manufacturer's wire cable trade name, the 10 refers to the size of the wire inside the cable set. A #10 AWG copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated for 30 amps.
When the refrigerator kicks on the lights flicker in the house and the microwave and the oven flash too Help?
The circuit for the refrigerator is overloaded. The full size refrigerator typically requires a dedicated circuit.
Can electrical wiring be on ground in crawlspace?
No, the electrical code requires that any wiring system be attached to an adjacent structure. A specific distance is required between holding points on the conduit or cable depending on the size of the conduit or cable. Home wiring is usually stapled every four feet.
