You should use 14 AWG wiring on all 15 amp circuits.

∙ 13y agoFor 6 can lights on a 15 amp circuit, you can use 14/2 AWG (American Wire Gauge) NM-B (Romex) cable. This cable consists of three wires: a black (hot) wire, a white (neutral) wire, and a bare copper (ground) wire. Make sure to consult local electrical codes and regulations before proceeding with the installation.
The minimum size home wiring is #14 AWG, the rating for that size wire is 15 amps.
The minimum size home wiring is #14 AWG, the rating for that size wire is 15 amps.
For a 5000 watt dryer, you should use 10-gauge (AWG) copper wire with a 30-amp circuit breaker. This corresponds to a 3-wire, 240-volt circuit with a ground wire. Make sure to consult your local electrical codes and a licensed electrician for accurate installation.
No, it is not safe to use two 20 amp circuit breakers to protect a 40 amp circuit. Circuit breakers are designed to protect the wiring in a circuit from overheating, and using a higher amperage circuit breaker than the wiring is rated for can lead to overheating and potential fire hazards. It is important to use the correct size circuit breaker for the amperage rating of the circuit.
For a 175 ft run of underground wiring to a church sign, it is recommended to use 10-2 wiring. This size will ensure that the wiring can handle the voltage drop over the distance without issues.
The fuse you use is determined by the load on the circuit and the size wiring used in that circuit not the battery voltage.
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

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.

Overloading the circuit, short in the wiring, or incorrect fuse installed which is too small for the circuit. Always use the correct size fuse.

The minimum branch circuit wire size that may be installed in a dwelling is typically required to be 14 AWG (American Wire Gauge) for general-purpose branch circuits. However, certain circuits may require larger wire sizes based on the specific load requirements and local electrical codes. It is important to consult with a qualified electrician or refer to the National Electrical Code (NEC) for the appropriate wire size for a specific application.

For general residential outlets, 12-gauge Romex is commonly used. This wire size is capable of handling the typical load requirements of outlets in homes. Make sure to consult your local electrical code to confirm the appropriate wire gauge for your specific installation.
The circuit for the refrigerator is overloaded. The full size refrigerator typically requires a dedicated circuit.
When installing a circuit breaker, you size the breaker based on the wire size. The breaker should be matched to the ampacity of the wire to ensure proper protection against overloads and short circuits. The device being controlled by the breaker is not a determining factor in sizing the breaker.
