Questions & Answers
Can this wire be used to wire a 220 1/2 horse submerable pump when placed into schedule 40 gray pvc underground?
How much is number 10 wire per foot?
@Jerry, Prices vary from retailer to retailer, geographically. You will need to contact your local retailer for price and available inventory. The exact information can be found on the retailer's website, https://www.homedepot.com/p/Southwire-15-ft-12-3-Solid-Romex-SIMpull-CU-NM-B-W-G-Wire-63947626/202525500. Consumer Support
Can I use this cable 12-3 for 3 way switch lights? And can use a 15 amp breaker or have to be 20 amps? Thanks
Can I use 12/3 for electric stove
No, you cannot use 12/3 wiring for an electric stove. Electric stoves require a dedicated circuit with higher amperage and voltage than a 12/3 wire can handle. They typically require a 40 or 50-amp circuit, and 12/3 is only rated for 20 amps. Using the incorrect wiring can create a fire hazard. For a stove, you'll likely need 6/3 or 8/3 wiring, but always consult local electrical codes and a qualified electrician to ensure proper and safe installation.
What wire do you use for electric baseboard heaters
Can this be ran to a work shed approximately 50 ft underground inside 3/4 CPVC conduit?
