A 10 AWG wire is typically only rated for 30 amps, but conditions such as length of run, whether the wire is to be used in a "plenum", temperature and other factors may affect the type of wire that you must use for a specific application.
If you have any questions, contact a qualified electrician or your local building inspector.

What size electric wire for 28 amp load?
AWG # 10
What size wire for 10 amp service with 1100 foot run?
AWG 12 will suffice.
Can 600v wire works 30 amp fuse?
What size is the wire? AWG 10, 600V is rated for 30 amps. Any AWG less than 6 would also be ok for a 30 amp circuit....
Should 25 amps breaker be replaced by 20 amps?
For typical residential house wiring 12 AWG wire is required for a 20 Amp breaker. If you change out the breaker for a 25 A breaker you would have to rewire the circuit with 10 AWG. In that case you could up the breaker to 30 Amps. All outlets and switches should be rated at the same voltage and current as the breaker.
What can you operate on 120 volts at 30 amps?
Yes, if you are using AWG # 10 wire. If you are using AWG # 12 then the answer is no you must use a 20 amp breaker. On AWG #14 wire you must use a 15 amp breaker.
What size electric wire for 28 amp load?
AWG # 10
How do you choose the right fuse for the job?
The correct size fuse needed is based on the size wire used in the circuit. The size wire needed is based on the load that will be applied to the circuit. 1. AWG 14/2 wire = 15 amp fuse 2. AWG 12/2 wire = 20 amp fuse 3. AWG 10/2 wire = 30 amp fuse 4. AWG 8/2 wire = 40 amp fuse
What size wire is required for 120v 5amp 250ft?
Use AWG #10 wire on a 20 amp breaker.
What size wire for 10 amp service with 1100 foot run?
AWG 12 will suffice.
What wire size needed for 120 volt 3000 watt load?
AWG # 10 wire on 30 amp circuit.
Can 600v wire works 30 amp fuse?
What size is the wire? AWG 10, 600V is rated for 30 amps. Any AWG less than 6 would also be ok for a 30 amp circuit....
How big of breaker do you use for 115 volt?
Depends on the wire size used in the circuit. If you use AWG # 14 wire you must use a 15 amp breaker. If it is wired with AWG # 12 wire then you use a 20 amp breaker. If a AWG # 10 wire is used then a 30 amp breaker is required. The breaker protects the wiring from overheating so you must use the proper size breaker for the wire used.
What gauge wire for 24 amp fuses?
AWG # 10
What size wire and breaker do you need for a 5000 watt garage heater?
Look on the heater and see what amps it is pulling. That will determine the wire size and breaker size. It must be on a dedicated circuit. 15 amps = AWG # 14 wire with 15 amp breaker 20 amps = AWG # 12 wire with 20 amp breaker 30 amps = AWG # 10 wire with 30 amp breaker 40 amps = AWG # 8 wire with 40 amp breaker
Should 25 amps breaker be replaced by 20 amps?
For typical residential house wiring 12 AWG wire is required for a 20 Amp breaker. If you change out the breaker for a 25 A breaker you would have to rewire the circuit with 10 AWG. In that case you could up the breaker to 30 Amps. All outlets and switches should be rated at the same voltage and current as the breaker.
Got new AC code says we need to replace the 30 amp with a 15 amp to pass code can this be done with existing wires safely?
All depends on the size of the existing wiring. If you have a 30 amp breaker on AWG #14 wire then this is an unsafe condition that must be corrected. 15 amp requires that the wire be AWG #14. If the wire is #15 then you can and should install a 15 amp breaker. 30 amp breakers are used on AWG #10 wire.
What is the smallest breaker for a 25 amp circuit?
30 amp wired with AWG # 10 wire.
