How many amps can 16 gauge wire carry at 120 vac at 25 feet?
18 amps.
What gauge wire do you use for 15 amps 200 feet?
To answer this question a voltage needs to be given.
How many amps can 8 gauge wire carry at 120 vac at 25 feet?
A #8 copper wire with an insulation rated at 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 45 amps.
How far can you run a 12 gauge electrical wire?
This is a voltage drop question. To answer this question an amperage is needed.
How many amps will 14 gauge wire carry at 200ft?
A #14 copper wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 15 amps. To answer your question for voltage drop at 200 feet a voltage needs to be stated. Assuming the voltage of 120 is used to maintain 15 amps at the distance of 200 feet a #6 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to less that 3 percent. Assuming the voltage of 240 is used to maintain 15 amps at the distance of 200 feet a #10 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to less that 3 percent.
How many amps can 16 gauge wire carry at 120 vac at 25 feet?
18 amps.
What is the difference in wire gauge size?
Heavier wires do not necessarily mean better sound. Typically, 18 or 16 guage wire is sufficient for home audio systems. If you are going to be running extremely long distances, say 100 feet or more, then increase the gauge size to like 14 or 12 to keep from losing too much audio signal. In a car, 18 guage wire should be quite sufficient.
What gauge wire do you use for 15 amps 200 feet?
To answer this question a voltage needs to be given.
What gauge wire would I need for 2500 feet for 240 volts and 0.4 amps?
A #14 wire will do the job.
How do you determine amperage service for a 240V single-phase three-wire system what formula do i follow?
You have to know the maximum amps you wish to deliver or draw of the device or devices you wish to power. There are charts on the internet for wire gauges and distance that you can follow. For example: A 12 gauge wire will handle 20 amps safely for runs up to 100 feet. You go down 1 gauge for runs over 100 feet. So if you are running 175 feet at 20 amps you should use 10 gauge so voltage drops don't occur. Voltage has no effect on rated current output other than selecting a wire or cable that is rated for the working voltages. 20 amps at 240 volts is the same as 20 amps at 120 volts. As long as the wire is rated at 240 volts, it will carry 20 amps at voltages less than 240 the same.
What wire gauge do you need for welder using 60 amps when runnung for a distance of 35 feet?
#6 awg copper
How many amps can 8 gauge wire carry at 120 vac at 25 feet?
A #8 copper wire with an insulation rated at 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 45 amps.
What wire gauge SO cord for 30 amps at 50 feet?
8 gauge minimum, 6 is a good overkill and probably easier to find in the big orange box 10 gauge is sufficient at 50 feet. 10/3 SO cord should be easy to find.
Wire size for 500 feet distance 120 volt 20 amps?
The American Wire Gauge code table shows 8 gauge safe for 24 Amps, 10 Gauge for 15 Amps. If the circuit is going to be used at capacity (2400 Watts in this case), 8 or 10 gauge is the minimum, if load is constant, use 8 gauge. Voltage ability of the wire is dependent on the insulation thickness and material. So 20 amps at 120 Volts is 2400 watts of power, and 20 amps at 12 volts is 48 watts of power. Both would require the same gauge of wire, but the higher voltage would need better insulation. <<>> This is a voltage drop question. A #1 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 20 amps for 500 feet on a 120 volt system.
How many amps will 10-2 wire carry at 40 feett?
30 amps is how much a 10-2 wire will carry at 110 feet. 10 gauge wire is only good for thirty amps per the national electrical code. Using 80% of the breakers usage you will actually be getting only 24 amps.
What gauge wire is needed for 200 feet with 110 volts and 50 amps?
6 AWG will handle 50 amps with a voltage drop of about 4 volts. If you go to 4 AWG and limit to 50 amps your voltage drop will be 2.5 volts.
How many amps can a 8 gauge wire run coming from the ditribution panel to the sub panel 25 feet away?
A #8 copper wire with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 45 amps.
