| Oct 8, 2023 at 10:59 | comment | added | crip659 | Wires burn out for one of two reasons. One is they are too small. The size of the breaker will determine wire size. 10 gauge on 30 amps, 8 gauge for 40 amps, this is the minimum allowed, larger gauges are allowed. The second reason is poor connection, either loose/not tighten enough, or the connection is dirty/rusty. | |
