The wattage of the circuit presuming that the circuit voltage is 120 volts. 20 x 120 = 2400 watts. Circuit loading on a continuous load is 80% so 2400 watts x .8 = 1920 watts

Which device designed to open an overloaded circuit and prevent overheating?
Fuses and circuit breakers are designed to open a circuit when an excess amount of current occurs, so as to break that flow of current.A circuit breaker or fuse.
What is a motor in a circuit?
A motor in a circuit is classed as the circuit's load.
What type of circuit is one in which all loads are connected in a single loop-?
That is described as a circuit in series, as opposed to a circuit in parallel, in which there is more than one loop.
How long does current remain in a 220 volt circuit?
The current will remain in a 220 volt circuit as long as the circuit load remains in the circuit and the circuit remains closed.
DoesCode permit connecting receptacles to a 20ampere branch circuit using short lengths of 14AWG conductors as the pigtail between the receptacle terminals and the 12AWG branch-circuit conductors?
No. This practice is a violation of Article 210.19 (A) of the NEC. "Conductors of branch circuits supplying more than one receptacle for cord-and-plug-connected portable loads shall have an ampacity of not less than the rating of the branch circuit."

Why are 12 lights permitted on a circuit?
The electrical code states that there shall not be more than 12 outlets on a two wire branch circuit. Such outlets shall be considered to be rated at not less than 1 amp per outlet.Where the connected load is known, the number of outlets shall be permitted to exceed 12, provided that the load current does not exceed 80% of the rating of the over current device protecting the circuit.

Why is the circuit a circuit?
Because circuit is a circuit.
What is an electrical isolator?
Something that doesn't let electricity throughAnswerAn isolator (UK terminology) or disconnector (US terminology) is a switch used to isolate a section of a circuit from any energised conductors, by presenting a visible break in the circuit. Isolators are not designed to break load currents (unless fitted with optional arc-breaking feature) or to break fault currents. In high-voltage systems, isolators are used in conjunction with circuit breakers -with the isolators opened after a circuit breaker has opened the circuit, and closed before the circuit breaker closes the circuit. For example, before one can perform maintenance work on, say, a high-voltage circuit breaker, the following sequence must be followed:the circuit breaker is opened, breaking the circuit.isolators located on either side of the circuit breaker are opened, presenting a visible break between the isolator and energised lines.temporary earth (ground) connections are applied to each side of the circuit breaker.barriers and warning signs are erected around the circuit breaker to define the permitted work area.a permit to work card, listing the work to be performed, and any potential hazards, is issued to the personnel who are to maintain the circuit breaker.
