Why, when choosing a cable, its cross-section is not the main characteristic that is worth paying attention to? How to choose the right cable depending on the power consumption and circuit breaker? What to look for and what nuances influence the choice? Examples of miscalculations when selecting a cable for a socket, electric boiler, stove, input circuit breaker.

Stove 2.3 kW = 10.45 A, 10 A = 10 * 1.45 = 14.5 A Refrigerator 1 kW at peak = 4.45 A = 5 A = 7.25 A Input circuit breaker 63 A: 63 * 1.45 = 91.3 A #cable #electrics #repair
