A #8 AWG copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C will limit the voltage drop to 2.26% or less when supplying 30 amps for 120 feet on a 220 volt system.

800 feet run for 50 amp service what size wire?

To answer this question the following is needed. The voltage of the circuit, whether single or three phase. To calculate whether additional de-rates have to be applied the type of wiring system should be stated, overhead, direct bury or conduit system. A single conductor single phase will need a #3 copper conductor and will limit the voltage drop to 2.93% when supplying 30 amps for 250 feet at 120 volts. A single conductor single phase will need a #6 copper conductor and will limit the voltage drop to 2.76% when supplying 30 amps for 250 feet at 240 volts. A single conductor single phase will need a #8 copper conductor and will limit the voltage drop to 2.16% when supplying 30 amps for 250 feet at 480 volts. A single conductor single phase will need a #10 copper conductor and will limit the voltage drop to 2.62% when supplying 30 amps for 250 feet at 600 volts. A single conductor three phase will need a #10 copper conductor and will limit the voltage drop to 2.84% when supplying 30 amps for 250 feet at 480 volts. A single conductor three phase will need a #10 copper conductor and will limit the voltage drop to 2.27% when supplying 30 amps for 250 feet at 600 volts. <<>> Single phase or 3 phase it doesn't matter. 30 amps is 30 amps.. Above your head or in the ground its still 30 amps.. 10awg is usually good for 30 amps but, with this voltage drop I would run 6awg.


How many output amps is a 45 kva transformer?

There is not enough information provided to answer. KVA is short for "Kilo Volt Amperes". That is, thousands of Volt Amps. In order to determine how many Amperes are flowing, you must know at what voltage it is operating. Amperes = 45,000 ÷ volts Bill Slugg

Are all large motors three-phase?

Yes, most large motors are three phase. Usually single phase motors only go up to 10 HP. Larger than this and the wire size and contactors used to control the motors becomes extreme. For example a single phase 10 HP motor on 115 volts draws 100 amps. The same single phase motor on 230 volts draws 50 amps. The same 10 HP motor on three phase system draws the following amperage; 230 volts is a 28 amp draw, 460 volts is a 14 amp draw and 575 volts is a 11 amp draw. As you can see the higher the voltage becomes, the smaller the wire feeder size is needed and much smaller size contactor can be used to control the motor.


How do you solve for the size of wire when the given is kva?

The V stands for volts and A is amps. If for example you have a 12kVA device and are running off a voltage of 120 volts then Amps = 12000/120 = 100. You then use the calculated amps in a wire size table to get the correct size.


If you have a circuit breaker box containing 650 amps of circuit breakers it is 3 phase 480 volts what size kva generator do you need?

The question isn't the number of amps total on your branch circuits, but rather, what your MAIN breaker(s) are rated at. This will determine what size of generator you will need. And be certain that the generator is 3-phase. <<>> The formula you are looking for is Amps = kva x 1000/1.73 x voltage.


What effect are there when resistance is increased in the size of the current?

Current is inversely proportional to resistance. If you double the resistance, you halve the current. Ohm's Law: Volts = Amps * Ohms Solve for Amps: Amps = Volts / Ohms
