Hello:

For the standard Copper NM interior house wiring:

Am I correct than for (any) circuit breaker labeled 30 amps, the minimum
gage
of wire going to it should be # 10 AWG ?

Thanks,
B.



Per 2002NEC 240.4(d), YES. 10# for non 240.4(e-g) applications, 10
AWG can be used on 30 amp circuits.

Now just summerizing what the NEC says, so read for yourself if you
are serious about learning more.
