What size wire do you need for 650 watts?
To answer this question a voltage needs to be stated. Wire is sized by the amount of amperage the load takes. W = Amps x Volts. Amps = 650/ volts.
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.
What can you operate on 120 volts at 30 amps?
Yes, if you are using AWG # 10 wire. If you are using AWG # 12 then the answer is no you must use a 20 amp breaker. On AWG #14 wire you must use a 15 amp breaker.
What gauge wire is needed for 200 feet with 110 volts and 50 amps?
6 AWG will handle 50 amps with a voltage drop of about 4 volts. If you go to 4 AWG and limit to 50 amps your voltage drop will be 2.5 volts.
What gauge wire would you need 5600 watts 240 volts 23.3 amps?
AWG # 10.
What is the max amps for 14 gauge wire at 12 volts?
15 amps
What is ampere rating of 10 gauge wire at 120 volts and at 240 volts?
30 amps.

What you using wire gauge in mm on 1kilowatt?
Wire gauge is determined by the capacity in amps. At 120 volts it requires 8.33 amps to provide 1000 watts. The typical residential application would require 18 AWG wire 1.024 mm in diameter.
How many amps does a 2000 watt heater draw at 240 volts?
Amps * Volts = Watts So, Watts / Volts = Amps 2000 / 240 = 8.333 Amps You should run the circuit on a two pole 15 Amp breaker, using 14 AWG, 2 conductor (plus ground) wire, just so you have a little safety factor in the circuit size.
What size wire to carry 8 amps at 120 volts?
A # 14 copper conductor will be fine to carry 8 amps at 120 volts. This size conductor is rated at 15 amps.
What gauge wire you would use to wire a 5kw heater hvac?
At 120 Volts you would draw about 42 amps. At 240 Volts it would be about 21 amps. For 120 Volts you would need 6 AWG and for 240 Volts you would need 10 AWG.
How many watts can 110 wire carry?
The first thing we have to do is clarify between the two items. 120 volt wire rating is an insulation rating of the wire. Like wire with ratings of 300 volts, 600 volts and 1000 volts these are the highest allowable voltages that can be applied. A wire that is rated for 300 volts is good for 120 volts, 240 volts and 277 volts. At test research facilities, equipment is tested to destruction. The label that is given to wire as a result of the tests is the highest safest voltages that can be applied to that particular wire. So when you see a wire that has a label stating that it is rated for 300 volts it means that any voltage under and up to 300 volts is safe to apply. The ability of a wire to carry current (amps) is related to the size of the wire. Now, watts is the product of amps x volts. To answer this question, assuming the supply voltage is 110 volts, an amperage needs to be stated as per the formula above.

What is the ampere rating of a 8 gauge wire at 240 volts?
5 amps
What size copper wire should you use for 240 volts 200 amps?
3/0 wire 3/0 wire
What gauge wire would I need for 2500 feet for 240 volts and 0.4 amps?
A #14 wire will do the job.
