What sorts of questions are on the Journeyman Electrician License Exam?
What gauge of wire is required to carry a certain amperage X number of feet? How do you break out a 120 volt circut from a 3 phase line? When installing a load center, how should the ground be installed? What locations require Ground Fault Interrupters to be installed? How should a 240 volt dryer plug be wired? What is the minimum size conduit that 3 0 gauge wires can be pulled in? Can 12 guage Romex be used to wire a water heater?
What gauge wire should be used for a 480 volt 100 amp run of just under 100 feet?
A #3 copper conductor will do the job.
What wire size is needed for 30amp load for 34 feet on 12 volts DC?
8 gauge will be sufficient with less than a half volt drop
What is the wire size for 50 feet distance 120 volts 12 amps?
It depends on whether this is residential or commercial.Commercial has to be 12 guage in conduit.
What is the amp capability of 600 volt wire?
The current (amp) capability is determined by the wire size in gauge, rather than the voltage rating stamped on the insulation. The most basic rating is 20 Amps for 12 gauge and 15 Amps for 14 gauge wire; however, it can get more complex than that for long runs of wire or for wires run through conduit with other wires. Hire an electrician if this sounds bewildering.

8 gauge will be sufficient with less than a half volt drop
What type of conduit is used for 480 volt 3-wire?
Conduit is just a medium to get the wires from one place to another. There is no voltage restrictions in low voltage wiring (750 volts or less). When it comes to conduit fill, electricians are governed by the electrical code conduit fill tables. The conduit is sized to accommodate the conductor size for a specific load.

It depends on whether this is residential or commercial.Commercial has to be 12 guage in conduit.
Why does volt gauge read high?
Because the voltage is high?
