A circuit breaker is like an automatic switch, designed to break a circuit if the current flowing (measured in amps) exceeds a predetermined maximum amount. The frequency at which the alternating current is changing is not relevant provided it is the normal one for which the circuit breaker has been designed to operate. In USA, Canada and other countries using similar power supply standards, that frequency is 60 Hz. In Europe and other world areas using similar power supply standards, that frequency is 50 Hz. A circuit breaker designed for use on 50 Hz or 60 Hz supplies should not be used to protect a circuit in a ship or aircraft running on a 400 Hz supply because its magnetic and capacitive components may not operate correctly. For such applications a circuit breaker designed to operate at 400 Hz must be used.
What else can I help you with?
Can you plug a 220V 60Hz hotplate into a 230V 50Hz outlet?
You can but it would be wise not to. Most 60hz appliances will not work at 50 Hz. <<>> Yes, no problem at all. The frequency does not enter into the equation because the hot plate is a strictly resistive load.
Will your spa work with a 40 amp breaker even if it says 50 amp on the plate?
No, because if you switch a 50-amp load on, it will blow a 40-amp circuit breaker if the load exceeds 40 amps, which is likely.
Does a double 50 amp breaker make a 100 amp?
No, a double pole 50 amp breaker protects a 240 volt supply at 50 amps. The number that is on the handle of the breaker is the amperage that the breaker will trip at if an overload occurs on the circuit.
What is type of breaker for 41 amp's?
For a 41 amp load, you would typically use a 50 amp circuit breaker. The general rule is to select a breaker size that is 125% of the continuous load amps or equal to the load amps if it is not a continuous load. In this case, 41 amps is considered a continuous load, so you would round up to the nearest available breaker size, which is 50 amps.
What size breaker for a 12 Volt 50 watt light?
For a 12 Volt 50 watt light, you would need a 4.17 Amp breaker. To calculate this, you can use the formula Power (W) = Voltage (V) x Current (A), rearranged to find Current (A) = Power (W) / Voltage (V). So, 50 watts / 12 volts = 4.17 Amps.
Does iMac work on 220Volt?
Yes, it will work from 100 to 240 volts on 50 Hz or 60Hz. It has an auto switcher.
Will a device that is rated as 110V AC 60Hz and 3A work with a step down convertor with 220V to 110V and 50Hz rating?
Depending on the device, it may or may not work. And if it works, it won't work properly. A 60Hz devices needs 60 cycle current, not 50.
Can you plug a 220V 60Hz hotplate into a 230V 50Hz outlet?
You can but it would be wise not to. Most 60hz appliances will not work at 50 Hz. <<>> Yes, no problem at all. The frequency does not enter into the equation because the hot plate is a strictly resistive load.
What is the voltage and frequency used in US and why?
the voltage and frequency are 110v and 50(or)60hz because the devices which are invented in us are work at that voltage and it is efficient for that devices.
Will a Steam mop 220v 60hz work on 220v 50hz it uses about 1300w thanks?
Frequency doesn't come into it for normal electrical devices, as long as the voltage matches it will be fine. 50/60hz differences only really affect display equipment.
What is the recommended type of breaker to use for a hot tub that requires a 50 amp GFCI breaker for safety?
The recommended type of breaker to use for a hot tub that requires a 50 amp GFCI breaker for safety is a 50 amp GFCI breaker.
What is the appropriate size of a breaker needed for a 240-volt circuit that requires a 50 amp breaker?
For a 240-volt circuit that requires a 50 amp breaker, the appropriate size of the breaker needed is 50 amps.
Will your spa work with a 40 amp breaker even if it says 50 amp on the plate?
No, because if you switch a 50-amp load on, it will blow a 40-amp circuit breaker if the load exceeds 40 amps, which is likely.
Does a double 50 amp breaker make a 100 amp?
No, a double pole 50 amp breaker protects a 240 volt supply at 50 amps. The number that is on the handle of the breaker is the amperage that the breaker will trip at if an overload occurs on the circuit.
What is the maximum current capacity that a 50 amp breaker can handle?
A 50 amp breaker can handle a maximum current capacity of 50 amps.
What is the maximum amperage capacity of a 50 amp Pushmatic breaker?
The maximum amperage capacity of a 50 amp Pushmatic breaker is 50 amps.
What is the maximum amperage capacity of a 50 amp breaker panel?
The maximum amperage capacity of a 50 amp breaker panel is 50 amps.
