Thanks for the education! I am looking at adding two 220 volt electric infrared heaters for the patio. I can now calculate what circuit(s) I will need, the wire and breaker size. Good video.

At 5:20 746 watts per horsepower is at 100% efficiency. Motors or not 100% efficient. Look on the data plate and it is much closer to 1, 000 watts per horsepower. So your 5HP motor will draw 22.7 amps.

What’s the reason for the 2 pole 20 amp breaker for the motor, why not just a single pole? Also for the lighting circuit, he said to break it into 5 circuits, what amps are those breakers? I know he said you don’t want to go over 15 amps on a lighting circuit.

My brother, Roberto’s Tacos isn’t going to like you wearing a Taco Bell T-shirt bro… No tacos for you! 😂

What do you use the formula A P+(GT) + (OC) for ?

[getreal]

I'm trying to run 2 ACs in 2 different bedrooms on a 15 amp breaker, but the circuit breaker keeps blowing.

My question is...

Can I change out the 15 amp breaker to a 20 amp breaker safely (even though I only have 14 gauge wiring), without burning my house down?

I know wires can get very hot, and I sure don't want to burn my home down and void my insurance coverage.

Thanks for any responses back as I'm sure they will help many others for years to come.

Great Video! let me ask you a question. If I'm putting a double pole 240v breaker with 10 gauge wire (10gauge = 30a) would I use a 30 amp double pole breaker?

Speaking from experience about his auntie

[superjokerxxx]

breaker size not given on Spilt nameplate onlybtotal wattage...power consimption...max input current...btu/h not given either what to do

[wt]

No one has a calculation for the wire size, distance, breaker size?
Example: 6/3 at 250 ft? What size breaker at 240vav?
8/3 at 250ft. What size breaker at 240vac?

[bobsmalls]

i have a electric water heater with a top element of 4500 watts and a bottom of 4500 watts what size breaker do i need. the on in the panel is a 25 amp
