What size of wire needed for 220volt?
Wire is not sized by voltage. It is sized by current measured in amps. Some common copper wire sizes and their current capacities are: 15 amps -- 14 gauge wire 20 amps -- 12 gauge wire 30 amps -- 10 gauge wire 40 amps -- 8 gauge wire
What gauge of wire to connect electric dryer?
You need a 3 conductor #10 cable. A #10 wire is rated at 30 amps.
What is the max safe amps for 14 gauge wire?
You should never try to use more than 15 amps through a 14 gauge wire.
How many amps will a 4 gauge aluminum wire carry?
70 amps.
How many amps can a zero gauge wire handle?
You are probably thinking about 1/0 wire (1 ought wire). In copper it is rated at 175 amps and in aluminum 125 amps.
What gauge of wire is needed to carry 200 amps?
3/0 gauge
What gauge needed for 20A?
The guage of wire for 20 amps is #12 copper.
How many amps will 4 gauge wire handle?
The amps that a four gauge wire will handle will depend with the thickness of the wire. If the wire is thin, the four gauge will handle 95 amps.

What gauge wire is needed for 7.5 amps?
AWG # 14 is the smallest wire you can install in a home and it can only be used in living areas. It will carry 15 amps.
What gauge of wire to connect electric dryer?
You need a 3 conductor #10 cable. A #10 wire is rated at 30 amps.
What wire gauge is needed to carry 150 amps at 240 volts?
At the service entrance you will need AWG 1/0 gauge.
What size USE wire is needed for 200 amps?
As a service entrance wire you need AWG # 3/0 gauge copper.
How many amps will 4.0 gauge wire carry?
140 AMPS
What is the max safe amps for 14 gauge wire?
You should never try to use more than 15 amps through a 14 gauge wire.
What gauge wire is needed for 60 amp circuit?
A #6 copper wire with an insulation factor of 75 and 90 degrees C is rated at 65 amps.
What is the maximum current recommended for 30 gauge copper wire?
Sorry, there is no such wire size as "30 gauge" in the AWG (American Wire Gauge) system. For the ampacity rating of all standard conductor sizes, go to Table 310-16 of the National Electric Code. If you mean what wire size will carry 30 amps then a #10 copper wire insulation rating of 90 degree C is rated at 30 amps.
