What gauge wire do you need for a water heater?

30 amp 220v circuit requires #10 wire


What gauge wire is needed to supply a 220v 100' 30amp service?

You would need a #8 copper wire insulation rating of 90 degrees C to supply 240 volts 100 feet to a 30 amp single phase load.


How do you rewire a 110v RV generator ONAN to produce 220v for backup power for your house?

yes you can use. but you need to install 110v to 220 volt step up transformer . It depends on the generator. Some are 120 only. Need full model and serial number to help you.


How much power can you run on 2.5mm cable?

When you say "Power" you're talking overall wattage. But, what you need to find is the current limit for that gauge cable, which is everywhere on the internet. Try the NEC Section 300


You ran power from your house to your shop about a year ago The problem you are having is one of the bus legs in your shop panel box is not hot so every other 20 amp breaker is not hot on that leg?

Sounds as though you only ran a 110 volt power supply to your new shop subpanel. You need to supply 220V with a neutral and ground from your main panel to your subpanel. The 220 supply needs to come from a two pole 220V circuit breaker in your main panel. (example 50 or 100 Amp) Then, most importantly, you must use the correct size wire to carry the current. That is the wire must be sized correctly to the 220V breaker. The neutral must also be the same size as the conductors. Once you determine how much power you need in your shop, size the supply 220v circuit breaker and wire accordingly. Check with your local building department if you are unsure or what size wire to use with what size breaker or refer to Table 310-16 in the National Electric Code. In Australia domestic power is 240v So you have run single phase power to a three phase switchboard. To get power to those breakers you must hook the active to the busbar connected to those circuit breakers.

Will a us xbox work in angola?

Yes it will. The only thing that you have to keep in mind is that in Angola the power is 220V so U'll need a power brick with 220v. Or U can buy a power converter to convert 220v to 110v.

What is the formula to convert amperes from 440V to 460V?

For the same power - Watts - you need to run twice as many amps at 220V than at 440V. For the same load, it'll pull half the amps at 220V than it did on 440V


Get 220v from 12v?

To get 220v from 12v, you will need to step up the voltage. One option is an inverter, another option is a step-up transformer, a third option is a motor-generator set. There are other options. It all depends on your power requirements.
