What gauge wire should you use for wiring a dock - in conduit - 350 ft at 220 volts?

That depends on the load. In other words how many amps does your load utilize or how many watts? Either figure will work.

Wire size is based on amperage. The higher the load amperage the larger the wire size has to be. In this case also, the wire has to be increased in size to over come the voltage drop for the distance to the load. To receive an answer restate the question with the load amperage or wattage.

What gauge wire to run 3250 watts 240 volts 60 feet along 40 amp circuit for oven in residence?
There's something wrong here. 3250 watts on 240 volts is only 13.5 amps, not 40. And that would be 12 gauge wire on a 20 amp circuit. But that seems low for an oven. If it truly is a 40 amp appliance then the gauge would be #8 wire. The wiring info that comes with the appliance should tell you everything you need to know.
What is the rating of domestic electric wiring?
Domestic wiring.: 1100 volts, 1.5 SQ-MM (22/0.3mm) lS:649
What is ampere rating of 16 gauge wire at 120 volts?
600 watts
What is the ampere rating of a 8 gauge wire at 240 volts?
5 amps
How many volts is 2 gauge 200 amp 3 ohms?
Ohm's Law states Volts = Amps x Resistance. You would need to apply 600 volts across 3 ohm load to have 200 Amps flow in circuit. Not sure what you are really asking and why you mentioned 2 gauge.
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.
What should the voltage gauge read on a S10 Blazer?
13.9 to 14.2 volts.
Can you run 110 and 220 volt circuits in the same conduit?
Yes, 120 and 240 volts can be run in the same conduit.

Why are volts needed?
Volts are the "electromotive force" that is needed to "drive" the electricity through the wiring.
What should your voltage gauge read on a 1996 Chevrolet diesel pickup?
13.9 to 14.3 volts no lower and no higher.
If you have a power supply that puts out 4.5 volts and 2 amps but the light you have only needs 4.5 volts and 1 amp will you fry the light?
It's highly possible. The difference in amperage might be minuscule but it all depends on the gauge of the wiring, the resistors, and the capacity of the board.
What is ampere rating of 10 gauge wire at 120 volts and at 240 volts?
30 amps.
Should a GMC 2005 Sierra oil pressure gauge be maxed out at 80 psi and drop to zero around 60 mph?
It is most likely a faulty gauge, as they are known for having problems. My volts gauge does the same thing.
What is the minimum burial depth of ridged metal conduit below a residential driveway?
The minimum cover requirements for direct buried conduits in vehicular areas is governed by the voltage in the conduit. Under 750 volts 600 mm (24 inches), over 750 volts 1000 mm (36 inches).
What is stove range voltage?
In U.S. residential wiring it is 240 volts.
Gauge wire needed for 8 amp sump pump?
you will need wiring that is at least 10 amp rated wire or higher. If you really needed to ask you might want to call an electrician Electrician here, be the pump 120 volts or 240 volts a #14 wire will handle the situation. Longer runs of 75 feet you should go to a #12 wire to compensate for voltage drop. The pump should be on its own separate circuit with a 15 amp breaker. A two pole 15 amp breaker if the pump is 240 volts.
