The maximum amperage that can be applied to a #14 wire is 15 amps. The 600 volts is just an insulation rating. Check the nameplate on the dryer to see what the amperage and voltage the manufacturer recommends. If the nameplate just states a wattage use the following formula to find the amperage. Amps = Watts/ Volts.

Can you use 600 volt wire for 240 volt appliance?
It depends on the voltage, but if you are using it on a 240 v system, it's quite OK to use wire that can take 600 v (if you had to buy the wire, you would be spending too much).
Can you use 12 gauge wire with 600 volt capacity to hook up an 300 amp 220 volt dryer?
I wouldn't, always safer to go heaver gauge. I recommend 8 gauge if you are going to be running any length of wire. Fire is never fun I believe the above answer assumes the question was meant to read, "30 amp 220 volt dryer." 12 gauge wire WILL NOT carry 30 amps safely. You need to run #10 copper minimum. It is never a bad idea to upsize, such as the recommended #8, but it is not necessary if 30 amps is what you need.
What is the breaker size for a 10 KVA electric heater?
What size breakers are needed for a 30kva transformer 208 volt feed 600 volt out put
What is the voltage rating of the conductors in type nmc cable?
In North America the voltage ratings of low voltage wire comes in three voltages. The voltages are 300, 600 and 1000 volt insulation ratings.
How do you wire 347 volts ballast to 110 volt feed?
You don't. A ballast with a 347 volt input is a commercial ballast. The 347 volts comes from a 600 volt three phase four wire Y system. You can change the ballast out to a 120 volt and rewire the unit but in most cases it is cheaper to buy a completely new lighting fixture.

Is a 300 volt wire good to connect a range?
The 300 volt insulation rating on wire is the maximum amount of voltage that can be applied to that wire. If your range falls within that range then it is safe to use. Some commercial ranges use 480 and 575 volts. For theses types of ranges the 300 volt wire will not do, it will have to be wire with a conductor whose insulation rating is 600 volts or greater.

Can you run a 60 watt light bulb on a 300 volt wire?
If your light bulb voltage rating is under 300 volts then yes it can use 300 volt wire. The voltage rating of the wire is the maximum voltage that the wire can safely carry. The three common insulation groups is 300 volts, 600 volts and 1000 volts.
What gauge wire for 240 volt at 40 amps?
The ampacity of a # 10 copper wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is 30 amps. All wire voltage ratings usually drop into two categories 300 volts and 600 volts. Home wiring drops into the 300 volt range and commercial, industrial, drops into the 600 volt range.
How many amps will 600 volt wire carry?
It depends on how thick the copper part of the wire is. A good guide is 5 amps per square millimetre of cross-section, less for a permanent installation. <<>> There are two factors that have to be taken into consideration when talking about wire. When amperage is talked about, that is the capacity of the wire to carry the current of the load, which is discussed above. When wire voltage rating is talked about, that is the resistance factor of the insulation wrapped around the wire to withstand the voltage that is applied to the wire. The higher the applied voltage to a wire, the higher the insulation rating has to be. Most conductors fall into three categories, 300 volts, 600 volts and 1000 volts. The 300 volt rating covers home wiring as it will never get above 240 volts. The 600 and 1000 volt rated wire is usually reserved for industrial installations.
What actors and actresses appeared in Diadromos 600 volt - 1984?
The cast of Diadromos 600 volt - 1984 includes: Katerina Apostoleli Kaiser Mahmut
What is the difference in 30 amp 250 volt and 30 amp 600 volt?
Devices are rated by voltage and amperage. If you have a source rated for 600 volts you can use a 250 volt device, but not vice versa.
Can a 600 volt 3phase electric motor run on 1phase?
Yes it can run when single phasing in a delta configuration but the motor will not start from a dead stop. There will be quite a bit of degradation in its operation from its nameplate data.
