الصيغة
Breaker Size = Load Watts / Voltage × 1.25 (125% NEC rule)
دليل خطوة بخطوة
- 1Calculate total load in watts, divide by voltage, multiply by 1.25
- 2Apply the formula using your project measurements
- 3Add required safety factors or waste allowances per code
أمثلة محلولة
الإدخال
2400W load, 120V circuit
النتيجة
Breaker = 2400/120 × 1.25 = 25A → use 30A breaker
أخطاء شائعة يجب تجنبها
- ✕Not applying code-required safety factors or derating
- ✕Forgetting to account for waste and cut losses in material estimates
