Question
I want build a light circuit using 6amps breaker.. circuit has 6 light. each ligh has 220watt. My question is which size of wire i used in this circuit. And how can i calculate wire size.
Hi Ibrahim.
I'm not familiar with the electric power system or requirements in your part of the world (Maldives), so I don't think I will be able to answer your question.
Perhaps there is a local electrican who would be able to answer this for you.
Good luck.
