What gauge of wire is required for a 30amp breaker?
The rule of thumb that techs will usually go by is that for a 30 amp circuit breaker, 10-gauge wire is the right one to go with. For a 40 amp you need a 8-gauge wire. For a 20 amp, you will need a 12-gauge wire.
What is the max load on a 30 amp breaker?
So, for example, if your loads are all continuous, the maximum load for a 30 A branch circuit is only 24 A. If the loads are noncontinuous, then the max load will be 30 A. If the loads you are running are less than the calculation rule, the branch circuit will have the proper capacity and life will be good.

What wire do I need for 240V 30 amp?
In most cases, you will need an #8 AWG wire for a 30 amp 240V circuit. The key for 30 amp wire sizing is to account for 2 NEC codes, namely: NEC 220-2 Code. This requires that a conduit wire's maximum load (30 amps) represents 80% of ampacity of that wire.
What size wire do I need for a 30 amp 220v circuit?
Any circuit fused for 30 amps must use a minimum of 10 ga copper or 8 ga alu. Longer runs may require an upgrade of wire size.
Can you have a GFCI breaker and outlet together?
