Best Answer

The gauge of wire is referenced to the capacity of a wire to carry amperage and has nothing to do with the voltage. The voltage of a wire is determined by the type of insulation that surrounds the wire. The size of the wire is determined by the amperage of the load and the distance from the supply.

If it is a 120 volt everyday outlet u can use 15 amp wire number 14 as long as u put it on a 15 amp breaker and it is not in the kitchen or dining room or bathroom. Those need to be 20 amp which is number 12 wire

The voltage is not as significant as the amperage. You'll need to decide the service size that you'll be sending to the house. It's always calculated in Amps.

Voltage does not dictate wire gauge, amperage does. The amperage rating of the breaker feeding the new circuit and the length of the run to the outlet determines your answer.

Does a double 30 amp breaker mean you have 60 amps for a 220 outlet?

breakers are rated by wire size, not voltage. the appliance manufacturer will probably specify amperage.


How many amps does a 220 ac use?

There is no standard Amperage for a 220 volt outlet. It all depends on the wires/conductors used to supply the outlet and the breaker that protects it. You can have an outlet with: 15 amp, 220 volt 20 amp, 220 volt And so on.....


240V to a standard outlet?

What is your question? A standard outlet is 110V. A 220 outlet is shaped different so that you know it is 220. You would never run 220 through a 110 outlet.


How do you compute the 2000 watts in 220 volt to how many amps?

watts = volts * amps--> Amps = watts/ volts therefore; 2000/220= 9.09 amps

Can a 240 volt air compressor run on a 220 outlet?

Yes. They're essentially the same as 110-115-120 are the same. The power that comes into your house is 240V, but by the time it's transferred through wires and breakers and outlets, it drops to about 220-230V. So anything between 220-230-and-240 is the same thing.


How many watts can can you use with a 20 amp 110 volt outlet?

If you are asking about 220 watts, remember Watts equal power, which is Volts times Amps. Amps are used to measure current - how many electrons flow past a certain point per second - so there is no answer to this question. If you meant to ask what current a load of 220 Watts would take if the applied voltage was 110 Volts, the answer is 220 Watts divided by 110 Volts = 2 Amps.
