what size breaker do I need
167550
I do not have the faintest idea, I just plugged it into the wall. Just a regular plug.

The size of the breaker is determined by the gauge of wire used in the circuit: 15 amps for NO. 14 wire, 20 amps for NO.12 wire. Both have been commonly used for outlets for years. If you are adding a circuit specifically for the microwave, either will work. If you have additional lights or appliances on the same circuit, I'd go for 20 amps and NO. 12 wire. For what it's worth, the electrician who wired our kitchen used 20 amps and 12 gauge on a microwave-only circuit.

We remodeled a 1970's kitchen a couple of years ago so we have the microwave on a regular 15 amp breaker with its own GFI plug. I do occasionally plug in a small countertop appliance like a toaster or can opener into that same plug and can run the microwave at the same time without tripping the breaker. Hope that helps.

Standard 15A is what mine is plugged into. You can double check the specs to see the power consumption.

If you have two open spaces right next to each other, you should have enough room. For most panels, this will mean either 1-1/2" or 2" or open space. Alternatively, you can buy a two pole 30 amp breaker and visually compare this to your panel to see if you have the space.

The unit can be run on 110 or 220. the breaker size is a 20 amp single pole or a 30 amp double pole. Regular 110 is just fine. i have a 2 ton unit and it is jsut fine on the 110 outlet.

There is a 30 Amp 120/240V twist lock outlet (NEMA L14-30R) and a 50 Amp 120/240V Dry type outlet (NEMA 14-50R). However, there are (2) 30Amp and (2) 20 Amp breakers on the panel. I have been able to run my whole house including my well pump, electric hot water heater and dryer without popping a breaker yet. Though the three of them in tandem are most rest assuredly pushing the limits of the unit.

My electrician used 12 awg and a 20 amp breaker ...by the way this is a great machine I love it...

Breakers are there to prevent over current on the wiring in your home. The breakers are sized to the wire so replacing a 30a breaker with a 40a breaker without changing the wiring would probably result in a fire.

As long as you do not exceed the 15 amp rating for breakers A-B-D-F or the 20 amp rating for breakers C-D. The generator size isn't as important as the individual loads that are connected to each breaker. At any rate, all circuits are protected with resetable breakers.

I put in a 40 amp breaker for this unit, but have th jumpers set to 5000 watts and have never needed to run it on high in my 3 car insulated garage, so a 30 amp breaker would have worked.

Actually #12 wire should be used with a 20Amp breaker. NEC only requires #14 to be used with a 15 amp circuit breaker. So #14 wire should be sufficient

The whole house surge protector takes up the space of two breakers.It is the same as 2 standard Murray Breakers.You need to connect the hot leads from the two removed breakers to the surge suppressor and the white wire from the surge suppressor to the neutral buss.It is best to use the two beaker locations closest to the Main panel breaker.Make sure you use two 20 amp breakers similar to the 20 amp surge suppressor breakers.Be sure to not work on a energized panel.

Most homes have 15 or 20 amp breakers so you should be fine with the 15. Make sure to get 15 amp cold weather extension cord so it stays flexible I the cold.

This system is 220-240 VAC, single phase. Yes, you need to bring directly from your breaker box. Here is how I did. I added two 15 amps breakers at the main box. Every house has two 110VAC poles. Be sure to connect each of them to the 15 amps breaker. Then bring the wire to your system. In my case I added another 15 amps breakers next to the system out side my house. My system is 24000 btu, rated at 9 amps per phase. The rule of thumb is that your fuse must be between 120-133% of the rating on the system. Goodluck

90 to 240 v or 115/120v house single circuit breaker house set up or 230/240 double house line( like your stove or dryer, and for a commercial building that rune 3 phase power - they can use their 208v line. see other questions for colored wire set up some are 3 wire and others 4 wire all are easy to wire in.

Its a 21amp unit at highest pick a watt. 30 amp 2 pull breaker will do just fine.

You need to get end piece connectors and a crimper. Cut a small piece off the wire, if you have wire to spare, and ask at the hardware store what size and type of connectors you need.

The National Electrical Code requires wiring and overcurrent protection to be sized at 125% of the load for electric water heaters. A 60 amp breaker is the same price as a 40 or 50. It is the wire that costs more. #6 wire is required for a 60 amp circuit. If you undersize the wire it could overheat and catch fire. Protect your family and follow the manufacturers sizing for this, or any other, electrical device. Your families lives are worth the extra money. �

This takes 2 full inches width. The regular CH type breakers are 3/4 wide so, no, it will not fit.
