Household Amperage

[DR.Death]

wrong, wrong, wrong, i spent 30 years working on, building, and repairing a/c heating and electrical things in houses:

dryer= 30 amp breaker

water heater= 30 amp breaker, 40 amp if its a 50 gallon

stove= 50 amp breaker

outdoor a/c unit= 30 amp for up to 3 tons, 40 amp for 3 1/2 to 4 tons, or 50 amp for 5 tons

central electric heater= 60 amp breaker for 10kw heater, 60 amp + 30 amp for 15kw (2 supply voltage wires and 2 breakers), 60 amp + 60 amp for 20kw (2 supply voltage wires and 2 breakers) basicly its 30 amp breaker for each 5kw of heat you have

i am gong by this house the most here is a 40 and its for the in this panel the 2 40 that are in it are base board heat and the stove is off a 20 the hot water tank 40 gal is off a30 this place is also 60 years old so i don't know if its up to code
