What size underground wire do you need from house to building 120 feet away?
The most significant part of the equation is, what will be the maximum current draw? If it's to be a small current draw, for example 40 Amp service (40 amp breaker), you'll use 8AWG wire that's rated for direct burial. Higher current rating will require larger wire. As always, if you have any questions about the proper wiring or how to connect electrical service, contact a local electrical contractor. Understand that improper wiring can result in fire and/or death.
How many amps extension lead would you need to run a 60Hz pump?
This can not be answered with the information you have given. 60Hz does not relate the the current draw so wire size can not be calculated.
Can you connect a 220 volt stove to a 120 volt circuit?
Yes, this is a safe connection. A range is usually wire rated at 40 amps and the manufactures do not make a 40 amp rated receptacle. The code requires the next highest rated receptacle be used which is a 50 amp rating. This is why the range receptacle is rated at 50 amps. This receptacle is known as a 3 pole 4 wire grounding receptacle, 14-50R 125/250 volt. Black wire to terminal X, red wire to terminal Y, white wire to terminal W and ground wire to terminal G.
Is there a difference between black wire and red wire?
Yes, the red wire is a positive wire (+) and the black wire is a negative wire (-) :D
Can 20 amp breaker with 12 gauge wire handle 8 recessed lights?
Yes. I am assuming this is a residential question. A better answer is...if the 8 recessed lights draw fewer than 16 amps together, it is good.
Can using larger wire sizes reduce amp draw?
Using larger wire sizes will not reduce amp draw. The amp draw is determined by the electrical device or load connected to the circuit, not the wire size. Larger wire sizes are used to reduce voltage drop and heat generation in the wiring, but they do not directly affect the amp draw of the circuit.
What is a draw tube?
A Draw Plate is a small hardened steel plate with a number of different sized holes in it, and is used for drawing wire through it in order to make smaller wire. The same technique is used to draw tubes down to a smaller diameter.This cold-working method results in a tube/wire with a good surface finish, and also improves a little the properties of the tube/wire.
How much current does a starter wire draw to activate the solenoid?
25amps
Can a wire be draw from wood?
wires cannot be drawn from wood because they are brittle
What is loading rate?
The maximum amperage draw or load that the device or wire can safely carry.
How many wire rope most be turn around draw works drum minimum?
Minimum of 10%
How do you test for battery drain in a car?
By removing the ground wire from the battery and putting an amp meter in series between the battery and wire and measure the amp draw after sometimes 15 minutes.
What is a wire gauge and what is it's use?
wire gauge is used to determine the size of the wire to be installed based on the amperage draw of whatever is being hooked up on the receiving end. ie 14 gauge is for a 15 amp circuit, 12 gauge is for a 20 amp circuit, 10 gauge 30 amp etc. to get specific amp draw ratings on a particular gauge of wire look at a current National Electric code book or ugly book.
What size wire do you need to run to a new flattop range using 32 feet of wire?
Wire size is based on the current draw of the device. It can be obtained from the wattage of the device by dividing the watts by the voltage. Once you have the current re ask the question.
Can you wire a 115v circ pump into a standard outlet?
Depends of the current draw of the pump and if there is any other load on the circuit.
Coal can be drawn into wires?
Coal is neither malleable nor ductile. It is brittle. It would crumble if you tried to draw it into a wire.
What if the plug and cord are hot on the air conditioner?
You may have a loose wire somewhere. You need to check the amp draw of the unit.
