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.

Oops, forgot to say copper. If you have alumium, then t310.16 says
8#.
