How do I find out what my wire is rated for my electrical wire?

I bought a new stove and plug that is 50 amp. My fuses on my wire to the stove is 35amp. I want to see if I can just change out my fuses to make it 50 amp, but I dont know what the rating is on my wire going to the stove.How do I find out what my wire is rated for my electrical wire?
I think an easy way to measure your wire would be to:



1) Go to the panel box and shut off the breaker. Lock it out in case someone decides to turn it on again when you are working on it.



2) Take off the Faceplate to the receptacle. Pull out the receptacle and use a pair of wire strippers to measure the wire gauge of the wire.



3) If the wire is 8awg or smaller it should be replaced with 6 awg wire.





Some info from the National Electrical Code:



210.19(A)(1) Branch circuit conductors shall (this means mandatory) have an ampacity not less than the maximum load to be served.



Table 310.16 shows that 8 awg is rated for 40 amps and 6 awg is rated for 55 amps.



210.19(A)(3) Exception number 2; A neutral conductor of a 3 wire branch circuit supplying a household range shall have an ampacity of not less than 70 percent of the branch circuit rating and shall not be smaller than 10 awg.



This is because on a 120/240 3 wire branch circuit the neutral conductor carries only the unbalanced current between the two hot leads. To calculate this multiply 50 amps X .70. So your neutral conductor needs only to be rated for 35 amps. An 8 awg wire would suffice for the neutral.





What is the nameplate rating of your range?How do I find out what my wire is rated for my electrical wire?
Wire is rated for amps by the wire size. It would be unsafe to raise the fuse to a 50 if the current wire is sized for 35. You would be better leaving the fuse as a 35.How do I find out what my wire is rated for my electrical wire?
You must look at the wires themselves to first determine their gage and secondly, you must determine their length(run) between the fuse box and the outlet. The longer the run,the larger in diameter the wires must be, to handle the total amperage the appliance can consume at it's most loaded moment. These details are necessary to know so that you can work the necessary mathematics to calculate what size wire is needed to complete the job with a margin of safety. These calculations must include a recommended service supply box along with recommended fuse types.-Again, their must be a margin of safety involved. Better to over-build the wiring AND install the correct type of fuse.How do I find out what my wire is rated for my electrical wire?
if all you have on that line is the stove, you will be fine with everything as is.How do I find out what my wire is rated for my electrical wire?
Look at the wire going to the stove breaker in your panel.

The size is printed on the wire.

If it was a 35A breaker it should be 8 AWG.

The bad news is that for 50A. You need 6 AWG.

(Those numbers are for copper wire.)

Don't try to put a 50A. fuse in front of 8 wire.

It will overheat eventually with risk of fire.

My ignition does not turn on anything nor crank over engine, any ideas?

I have a '92 Chevy c1500, 350 5.7 litre engine. last week i tried to start it. turned the key to the start position, dash indicators, radio, heater and buzzer came on like normal. Went to crank over the engine and everything cut out. It normally costs $130 to tow it to the nearest technician shop ($65 there and back). Plus $65/hr for labor costs just to figure out the problem. Don't know how much for the parts they usually try to scam you into getting. So I have checked all connections from battery to starter to ignition switch. Checked all switches and fuses. Changed the starter, ignition switch and park/neutral switch. Battery works fine only a year old, and head lights including high beams, dome light and under-hood light all come on except there isn't a buzzer when I turn them on with ignition off. Normally there is a buzzer. most of my fiancee's family has worked on or with Chevy's and don't have a clue what it could be. I have even tried pushing up the shifter. Please help!My ignition does not turn on anything nor crank over engine, any ideas?
Does your solenoid click when you try to start it? If so, you have a poor connection, low battery or a bad solenoid. If you know your batteries pretty good, (try your horn) use a 12-volt test light to check for power to the small terminal on the starter solenoid, connecting the alligator clip to the battery negative terminal. If it lights up, change the solenoid. If not, work your way back through the circuit, and/or check for engine ground. (see Galen B's post) You can try the screwdriver jump across the terminals, just make sure the screwdriver doesn't touch any metal besides the small terminal while it's touching the main terminal, or it's 4th of July time. This is a lot safer when the starter is out of the car.My ignition does not turn on anything nor crank over engine, any ideas?
Check to see if you have a good ground. If that motor is not grounded, then that would be your problem. I went through hell to figure that out on my 80 K30. I wish I would have thought to check for a good ground first. Good luck.My ignition does not turn on anything nor crank over engine, any ideas?

The battery may not have the amount of amps. you need to turn the starter Have the battery checked for cranking amps.to see if it could take the amps that the starter would need.My ignition does not turn on anything nor crank over engine, any ideas?
I had the sam thing happen to me and it was my coil which is mounted under the distributer cap if that is not it take out your module which is mounted under the dist. cap and autozone or oreillys will check it for free.My ignition does not turn on anything nor crank over engine, any ideas?
You didn't mention the ground cable. Run a booster cable from the negative side of the battery to the engine block and try again. If that works, you are not getting the ground from the battery.

You should also be able to jumper a screwdriver across the starter from where the positive wire connects to the starter to where the ignition wire connects to the starter. This will bypass the ignition switch. If this starts it, the problem is in the ignition circuit. I don't know if there is a relay in the ignition line.My ignition does not turn on anything nor crank over engine, any ideas?
Galen B has got your answer. Just don't stand directly in front of the vehicle when you do this and keep you hand OFF the metal part of the screwdriver.

Ultrasonic cleaning unit needs repaired?

Recently someone gave me an L%26amp;R ultrasonic cleaning unit that was broken, after changing the fuse the machine would turn on but it smoked under the tub, turning the tub over I found that there are two disks glued to the bottom of the tub and one of them is cracked. I don't know much about these things and simply giving the name of the part would be a great help (though if you know how to repair, or where to attain a new one don't hold back =))

Buick odometer light broken?

anyone know how to fix it? will just changing the fuse do it?Buick odometer light broken?
Nope fus is for the entire dash lights. I bet it is burnt out. I replaced mine in my Truck from superbriteleds.com and replaced all of them with an orange light LED you never have to remove the dash again..

How do you change the desktop computer's audio fuse?

At least I think that's the problem since I pluged the speakers wire to to the microphone outlet instead of the headphone outlet.How do you change the desktop computer%26039;s audio fuse?
Restart the computer and plug the speakers into the correct jack. Should work fine. Plugging speakers into a mic jack won't do any harm, in fact, they could work as a microphone.



There is no fuse.

Tail light and dash light out '97?

My dashboard light (where the spedometer is) and my tail lights are out. The tail light works when i press on the brake. I changed the fuse (which was blown) and they still dont work. What else can i check and fix? And how do i do it? I have no idea what im doing and dont have the money to take it somewhere.Tail light and dash light out %26039;97?
fuse blown, might have also blown out bulbs when the fuse blew out, check might be more than one fuseTail light and dash light out %26039;97?
Did you change the bulbs? That is the most likely next step. It sounds like you are indicating the brake lights are functional but the either the reverse light or turn lights are not functioning. Nonetheless you have multiple bulbs un the tail light assembly so one of them may be out. As for the dash first check the dimmer for the dash lights and see if that has been turned down, if all the lights on the dash are out it is more likely a fuse or other electrical problem, if some lights work and some don't it is more likely to be a bad bulb. Dash lights are more difficult to change but not impossible. Good luck!Tail light and dash light out %26039;97?
The brake lights sounds simple. If it works when you apply the brakes, you've used the wrong kind of bulb. Some bulb s have two filaments, one that is one when you have your head lights on and the other when you apply the brakes. Your nearest auto parts store can resolve that quickly. As far as your dash light goes, thats gonna be tricky. Check again to assure you used the right fuse. If you did use the right fuse you might need to take apart the dash and replace the bulb which can be time consuming and tricky. If its not in your budget, you can learn to live without that little light. Buena Suerte.Tail light and dash light out %26039;97?
Check and see if the fuse is blown again but before you replace it walk around the car and see if any of the parking lights in the front or rear have water in them or were hit and broken, or see if there is rust in the bulb sockets which will cause a short. This includes the side marker bulbs which are on the same circuit in most vehicles. If you don't find a problem take all the running lights out and put a new fuse in and see if it blows or not. If the fuse doesn't blow put one bulb at a time back in their sockets and make sure they light up. When one lights and goes out right away you've found the shorted circuit. Keep in mind there may be something else in the same circuit, maybe a cigarette lighter etc. which could be the problem. Any loose change in an accessory socket?Keep looking you'll find it.

Can anyone help with my 2000 Oldsmobile Alero?

I have a 2000 Oldsmobile Alero that I just bought used, however, there's a few problems. The car runs very well but there's a few inconveniences that I would like fixed. The first problem is the driver's side speaker to the stereo. It works but the sound is very faint. Any reason why this would happen and how I can fix it? The other two things that don't work are the remote mirrors and button to open the trunk. Do I need to change the fuse to these in order for them to work? Thanks in advance. I appreciate it.Can anyone help with my 2000 Oldsmobile Alero?
It is possible the speaker is just blown, but I checked the schematic for the trunk release and it shares a fuse in the IP fuse block with the radio amp. As for the mirrors that fuse is also in the IP fuse panel.

Either you have multiple issues or maybe a main problem in the IP fuse block, possibly a water leak or loose wires.Can anyone help with my 2000 Oldsmobile Alero?
I have the perfect solution.



Sell that poor car before something inevitably major occurs.Can anyone help with my 2000 Oldsmobile Alero?
the speaker is probably blown,for the mirrors check the fuse and the trunk too there is fuses for all electronics parts in the car.

- What is happening in 'The Chucky'

- How does the writer use language to interest the reader?



My grandmother

works the chucky. She funnels

A handful of maize* into the hole

just as her mother used to do.

Sometimes she feels the grainy texture

Of her grandmother聮s palm.

Once, the mud dried room

Filled with the spirits of all our mothers.

But usually all she can see

Is her ageing hand, all she can feel

Is an aching absence.

My mother

Has a Philips grinder and my sister

Knows how to change the fuse.

And when they make roasted maize

We always have it with spinach

And lots of butter. Sometimes the scents

Bring my grandmother back

Before our eyes, and we recall

The story of how our mother

Ran in with our father to tell

My grandmother of their plans to go to England.

Of how the grinding stopped and the flour

Spilt and the sudden silence

Was interrupted by a gust

Which shut the door on the light.Could you annotate this poem please?
Read the question - what is it asking you - what happens in the poem, how does the poet use language to interest the reader? So your response should focus on the words used and why you think they have been employed.



Firstly %26quot;chucky%26quot; - an unusual, dialect word, which makes the reader want to find out more about this strange device.



The repitition of %26quot;mother%26quot; is also interesting, emphasising a ritual that has been passed down from mother to daughter. This is a connection with the past, and somehow the graininess of the maize reminds her grandmother of this, with her feeling the same sensations as her mother must have done.



I think %26quot;mud-dried%26quot; is also interesting as it highlights the primitive nature of the surroundings and the primal, simple nature of the task. This is a natural process, as is the drying out of mud in sunlight, which has been carried out since time immemorial.



%26quot;Aching absence%26quot; - note the assonance of the repeated %26quot;a%26quot; sound describes the pain of death and a loss of a loved one.



The traditional, family ritual of grinding the maize is contrasted with modern technology %26quot;My mother has a Philips grinder and my sister / Knows how to change the fuse%26quot; - whether this is positive (i.e. knowledge is still being passed on from generation to generation) or negative (the feel of the corn in the hands and the skill involved has been automated and as a result a connection with the past is lost) I think is ambiguous. However, I think the poet is saying that there is a fundamental change by moving to modern technology, which although is labour saving, disconnects us from the past.



This is reinforced by the shock of her mother telling her grandmother of their plans to leave. She runs in with excitement, interrupting the calm scene and disrupting the ancient ritual. The grinding of the corn is a metaphor for the way a younger generation has broken with the past, shown by the spilt flour and the closing of the door with the wind. Note the sibilance of %26quot;sudden silence%26quot; and the simple, monosyllabic words which end the poem. There is no words adequate to express her grandmother's grief, so the poet is content with a simple depiction of the finality of the door shutting. The grandmother is left alone, with an %26quot;aching absence%26quot;.



I thought this was a brilliant poem. It reminds me of Edwin Muir's classic poem %26quot;Horses%26quot; - describing how the survivors of a nuclear war have to abandon modern technology and rediscover the horse.Could you annotate this poem please?

Cabbie: %26quot;Not Frank Feldman. He was a terrific athlete. He could have won the Grand-Slam at tennis. He could golf with the pros. He sang like an opera baritone and danced like a Broadway star and you should have heard him play the piano. He was an amazing guy.%26quot;



Passenger: %26quot;Sounds like he was something really special.%26quot;



Cabbie: %26quot;There's more! He had a memory like a computer. He remembered everybody%26quot;s birthday. He knew all about wine, which foods to order and which fork to eat them with. He could fix anything. Not like me. I change a fuse, and the whole street blacks out. But Frank Feldman, he could do everything right.%26quot;



Passenger: %26quot;Wow, some guy then.%26quot;



Cabbie: %26quot;He always knew the quickest way to go in traffic and avoid traffic jams. Not like me, I always seem to get stuck in them. But Frank, he never made a mistake, and he really knew how to treat a woman and make her feel good. He would never answer her back even if she was in the wrong; and his clothing was always immaculate, shoes highly polished too -- He was the perfect man! He never made a mistake. No one could ever measure up to Frank Feldman.%26quot;



Passenger: %26quot;An amazing fellow. How did you meet him?%26quot;



Cabbie: %26quot;Well, I never actually met Frank. He died and I married his damned widow.%26quot;

The perfect man?........?

straight away.

He gets into the taxi, and the cabbie says: %26quot;Perfect timing. You're just like Stevie%26quot;

%26quot;Who?%26quot; says the man.

%26quot;Stevie Jones. He was a guy who did everything right. Like my taxi being vacant during a rainstorm. It would have happened



for Stevie.%26quot;

%26quot;Well no one is perfect. There are always a few clouds over everybody,%26quot; the man replies.

a West End star. He was handsome and sophisticated, more than George Clooney. He had a better body than Arnold Schwarzenegger



in his prime. He was something!%26quot;

%26quot;Somehow Stevie just new exactly how to make women happy,%26quot; the cabbie continues.

91 honda accord brake light problem?

my brake light is out again, it went out once and i replaced the bulb which did nothing.. then changed the fuse and it worked. then a couple days later it isn't working again for some reason. anybody know how to fix this?91 honda accord brake light problem?
I'd change the two brake light sockets , plus run a new ground wire from the trunk to the brake lights.Any good parts store should be able to supply or order you those sockets , just be sure to use the same gauge of wire and a o-ring wire connector etc.



Hope that helps and best of luck.Merry Xmas91 honda accord brake light problem?
90-93 accords have brake light control modules on them(black box mounted to the back off light)they go bad.get new taillight harness %26amp; module from dealer they are sold seprate left or right sides.

2006 Kia Sedona won't start?

I have a 2006 Kia Sedona. I bought it 4 months ago. 2 weeks after buying it, it would not start. All the lights would come on, the radio would play, and the headlights would come on. It would not even try to crank. It was like when you try to crank a car while it is in gear. Anyway, I took it to the dealer since it was still under warranty. They made me change the battery, and it would still do the same thing. Then they tried changing the fuse box, and that still did not work. Now it is doing it again, and it is getting frustrating. My belief is that the sensor that recognizes the vehicle is in park is malfunctioning. Any ideas on what it could be, because the dealer either will not or does not know how to fix it?2006 Kia Sedona won%26039;t start?
could be a faulty neutral safety switch2006 Kia Sedona won%26039;t start?
Try pushing the gear shifter further back while trying to start it. Do this in P and in N. There might be a particular spot in the P and N range where it starts. I've had 2 F250's that both did this. One is a '69 and the other was a '98.



It could also be a bad starter, and that's what I bet it is. The dealer just put in a different used battery that they had on hand. They didn't want to shell out the bucks to replace your starter. Tell them that.

Some lights out on my dashboard. What's wrong?

I have a 1995 Ford Explorer XLT. The car is in good condition...except that the left lights are not working on the dashboard. This translates to the fact that I cannot see the speedometer and other dashboard gauges at night.



The right half of the dashboard lights work perfectly fine. However, the radio lights do not work properly. I cannot see the stations, even though the radio works.



Do you think this is a fuse problem?



How can you tell that they are bad? I don't have any equipment to do this, so it would be great if I could figure this out without such quipment.



If so, how do I change the fuses? Can I purchase them at AutoZone?



Thanks!!! Some lights out on my dashboard. What%26039;s wrong?
you have burnt out bulbs behind the gauges.Some lights out on my dashboard. What%26039;s wrong?
It's probably some of the bulbs are burned out.Some lights out on my dashboard. What%26039;s wrong?
most probably it fuse. please locate the fuse box it can be found it your car manual and check the correct amp to buy
