Does this work for a 40 amp wire
1677607
that should be about 8 guage wire and i don't think it will fit over the plug.

not sure, two pieces , one fits inside or other piece, each one is hinged to close over cord and plug, cord hole is est 1/2 in diameter, never checked inside diameter, not about to unwrap tape over cord openings till spring , have exterior 3 wirer 14 cord to my bird bath,

i used it for a heavy duty extension cords and it works perfect. I don't know what size a 40 amp wire is, SORRY

I don't know what a 40-amp plug looks like. This casing is designed to take a standard 3-prong plug and the gasket is for a normal 3-prong connection. There's a little extra room in the casing but not a whole lot. The way this works is you put the gasket between the two cords and the casing squeezes them tightly together for a seal at the electrical connection. The casing itself is not sealed and the cord plugs themselves are still exposed to moisture, etc.

If you are referring to a 40 amp cord where the plug is set to the side so it plugs into an outlet flush, then no, it will not work due to the shape. I use it on heavy duty extension cords where the plug is straight out from the cord and it works great since it encloses the two connectors.

I'm not sure the amp would have anything to do with this item as it doesn't have anything to do with with the voltage. I use it only to protect the plug of the bird bath heater cord where it connects to the plug of the extension cord which in turn connects to the outside electrical outlet on my house.

You can't use 10/3 wire with a 40 amp breaker. You can only use it with a 30 amp breaker. You would need to use 8/3 wire with a 40 amp breaker. (You can use bigger wire with a smaller breaker, but not a smaller breaker with bigger wire.)

I don't think that it will. When I initially installed it I had the wires switched on the shunt (which would have just given a negative value) and it showed zero for the amperage until I corrected the shunt leads.

Yes, it has an owners manual and it says 10 gauge minimum for the wire and the proper size fuse/breaker. This heater can be set to run at different btu's and the wire/breaker depends upon what you want to run it at. I found some guidance via google that with the 7500 watt setting the code says 8 gauge wire and 40 amp breaker (double for 240v), that is what I used and it works fine. No plug, this is intended as a direct wire installation. Disclaimer - I am not an electrician and with voltages like this it is usually a good idea to consult one if you don't know the answers to these questions.

It works on my 20 amp circuit, but it will be most of the load. If it's hot outside and this is on it should be the only high-powered device on the circuit. Even a computer or two may result in it tripping.

No idea, but I think it draws too much power for small wires. Connections may have corroded just enough for voltage drop.

Not per code. The panel has a 30 Amp breaker and uses 10 GA wire. 40 Amp circuits require 8 GA.But, as long as you do not change out the 30 Amp breaker you would be safe. This would mean that turning on too many burners would blow the breaker. All depends on whether you're doing the install yourself or having an electrician do it. He won't do it but you could if you're willing to accept the risks. (Your insurance wouldn't cover anything if you should have a fire.)

Yes,we use them for turning ON irrigation pumps in our development. The 40Amp is to take the starting current, when the pump turns on.

It will not work. I wouldn't use 20 gauge wire for any load greater than 1 AMP.

I used it for 110 volts, there is no amperage.. I hope this is of use to you

Don't buy this! My wire never worked a piece of junk. If you find one similiar to this that works please let me know. But again this is a DO NOT BUY item!

I used an 8 gauge wire and it worked fine for me. Just make sure that it is actually 8 gauge of wire, a lot of the time wire gauge is falsely advertised.

To my knowledge, as long as the voltage is = to or higher it will work. The 40 + 5 means that it has 2 capacitors built in it , they have to be the same .

Not made for large gauge wires. I think it will handle up to 18-16 awg no problem

If you mean 2 gauge sized wire, this fuse block will be fine. I question using that size wire for 400 amps, however since #2 wire is not suitable for that current level. Perhaps the 400 amps is instantaneous and you know, from experience #2 wire will suffice, then this fuse block will work. The bottom line is you have to match the wire size to your continuous current rating then see if that size wire will fit this particular fuse block.

No it will not. If you look at the electric requirements, I believe this unit draws 9000 watts at 240 volts. that equates to a 40amp 240volt circuit

It can work but this fuse holder is really meant for 4 or 8 gauge wire. It will work but it is a bit large for 12 gauge wire.
