AWG #6
Three phases, one neutral and a GROUND
You need to know the amperage to size the wire. For 220 V at 20 A you would need 12 AWG. At 220 V at 30 A 10 AWG.
Wire guage is used as a measurement for the ampacity of the wire. # 14 wire is allowed 15 amp to be applied to it. Voltage is governed by the insulation factor of the wire. The three standard insulations are for 300V, 600V and 1000 volts.
You could if it fit properly in the connector, but it would be massive overkill since you only need 12 AWG wire. You also have to make sure the load can physically accommodate that larger size wire. Every so often someone will replace an electric cooktop witha gas one. All of the new gas cooktops require a 110v outlet. The old electric cooktop may have been run with a 50 amp breaker (and probably 6 gauge wire) In order to convert this 220 v circuit to a 110v circuit we change to a 20amp breaker. Depending upon the brand of breaker sometimes the wire will fit into it. If not, we splice on a short piece of 12 gauge wire and then connect to the breaker.
Technically, yes you can. However, this is one of the most dangerous things you can do in electrical wiring. It's not only against the code, it's a fire waiting to happen. Don't do it! Understand, the neutral wire is a conductor. It carries current. It needs to be an insulated wire. Also, if you use the bare copper (ground) wire for a neutral, you have taken away the earth ground from the circuit, eliminating short circuit protection. If the dryer motor shorts out it will burn up. (fire again) A residential dryer requires a 30 amp 220 volt circuit breaker in your panel and a # 10 gauge wire with three conductors (insulated) and a bare ground. Have a qualified electrician install it.

You need to know the amperage to size the wire. For 220 V at 20 A you would need 12 AWG. At 220 V at 30 A 10 AWG.
The white (or neutral) wire is not involved in a 220 circuit. Using US NEC conventions, red and black in a 120/240 split phase service form the 240 (220) circuit. The neutral (white) wire is only used when you want 120 (110) volts.
first off. it has to be UF type wire, and is usually 12 gauge or 10, depending what you are using it for.
14 gauge wire is for 15 amp circuits. At 220 volts that would be enough for 2.4 kw.At 120 volts it would need 12 gauge wire which is rated for 20 amps.
For a 220 volt 100 amp breaker, you would typically need a wire gauge of 2/0 AWG (American Wire Gauge) or larger. It is recommended to consult with a professional electrician to ensure the proper gauge is used for your specific installation.

Cannot answer this question. Will need to know the voltage and amperage of the circuit. Also need to know the application i.e. is it a lighting circuit or a motor circuit?

If it's a 220 volt circuit without a neutral bring wire into panel, put ground wire on ground bar, put load wires onto breaker.
