Connecticut Electric 40 Amp 2 Pole Circuit Breaker Questions & Answers
What size amp switch do I need.
NO! Use a switch rated higher in amps and equal to or higher in voltage relative to the breaker rating. Use a 40 or 60 amp switch rated a minimum 220 volts.
I want to put a on and off switch just like a
NO U SHOULD NOT USE THE 30 AMP. SW, THE SW SHOULD BE THE SAME SIZE AS THE PROTECTION AT THE PNL! AND THEY SHOULD BOTH BE THE SIZE THAT IS STATED ON THE NAME PLATE ON YOUR COMPRESSOR, U CAN USE A 220 VOLT SINGLE PHASE NONE FUSED 60 AMP INDOOR OR OUTDOOR TYPE DISCONNECT FOUND AT ANY ELECTRICAL SUPPLY HOUSE, AROUND $20-30 IF I HAVENT BEEN UNDER AROCK FOR LONG! THIS BY THE WAY IS NOT TO BE MOVABLE, SWITCH NEEDS TO BE MOUNTED TO SOMETHING LIKE A WALL OR COLUMN. GOOD LUCK AND BE CAREFUL WITH THE JUICE!
How would I connect 3 different wires to a plus to receive power one wire is from 3 outlets one is from a spotlight one is from a shed ?
Assuming Chuck, you are speaking of three separate circuits and you want to connect them into a power panel. If that is correct, I also assume you have along with the three hot conductors (wires), three neutral (white) wires. If these assumptions are correct, install three breaker into your panel and attach each circuit into these new breakers. A word of caution, Ensure the white conductors are connected to the neutral bar where all other white wires are connected. Saying all of this, I now suggest you either get an electrician to do the job or at least get someone with more knowledge than you have to help. Improperly installed electrical service is hazardous not only to the structure but it is DEADLY. Good luck.
I need more power in my kitchen, what would it involve?
Most probably if you ask here. The main electrical grid should have 3 incoming cables you can use as a power source. So usually you have 3 banks with fuses in there. You need to change part of the kitchen with something you do not use so often.
If there is one outgoing wire for the whole kitchen you need to put a new one in- this is some work.
Can 40mp dryer and 40 mp range be computable
Hi - I'm an electrician an would like to help you with your question.But - Umm.. huh?By "40mp" Do you mean 40 amp? They are both "computable" but I suspect that you meant compatible. If so, yes, 40 amps is 40 amps regardless of what it supplys, as long as the wire is the right type and size. I haven't seen a 40 amp residential dryer though. Residential electric ranges and electric dryers are both 240 volts - but the dryer is usually a 30 amp circuit (#10 copper) and protected by a double pole 30 amp circuit breaker. The range is a 40 amp circuit (#6 aluminum) and protected by a double pole 40 amp circuit breaker.If this doesn't answer your question, please explain in greater detail.
