What gauge wire for a jacuzzi with a 40 foot run?
Depends on the amperage of the Jacuzzi and if it is 120 or 240 volts.
What gauge wire for 220 volts?
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.
What is the cable size for 90 kw motor?
Depends upon the voltage. The formula for amperage or (wire size) is Watts / Voltage. If the voltage is 220 volts, then the amperage would be over 400 amps. This would require a large wire size to run it. If it were 440 volts, the amperage would be 1/2 or 200 amps. That would require a smaller wire size. As the voltage goes up, the amperage goes down. At a thousand volts, the amperage would only be 90 amps. A wire gauge or size of a #2 would carry 90 amps for small distances.
What size wire for 55kw?
Wire is sized by the amperage that it will carry. 5 kW is 5000 watts. The equation to find watts is W = Amps x Volts. The equation to find amps is Amps = Watts/Volts. As you can see a voltage is needed to calculate the amperage. Once the amperage is stated, the wire size can be given for that particular amperage.
How big is 6 gauge wire?
The size of the wire is stated by its gauge under American Wire Gauge. Six gauge wire is size 6 AWG.
What is amperage limit of 12 gage solid copper wire?
20 Amp
What is the amperage limit of number 2 gauge wire?
A #2 copper wire with an insulation factor of 60, 75 and 90 degrees C is rated at 100, 115 and 120 amps respectively.
How many volts will 4 gauge wire handle?
the gauge of the wire determines how much amperage a wire can carry the insulation determines how much voltage the wire can handle
Can you splice a 10 ga wire to a 20 ga wire?
30 gauge wire is much "thinner" than 10 gauge wire. Hence, if you are using 10 gauge for an application requiring only 30 gauge, it will more than handle any current flow. However, if the application requires 10 gauge wire you cannot use 30 gauge wire.
If kilowatts are known how to you find the proper wire size?
Wire size needed depends on amperage, not watts. If you know the voltage of the power supplied you can calculate the amperage using this form of the "power formula":A = W / VThen there are tables that tell the amperage each wire gauge is capable of carrying. Just select the gauge that has the amperage rating just larger than you calculated.
What gauge wire do you need to carry 240 volts 1000 yards?
Wire sizes are governed by the amperage the wire is to carry. To answer this question the load current is required.
What is amp size for 22 gauge wire?
The maximum amperage it can carry for power transmission is .92 amps.
What gauge wire for a jacuzzi with a 40 foot run?
Depends on the amperage of the Jacuzzi and if it is 120 or 240 volts.
What type wire is best for automotve DC current?
Copper or aluminum AWG. As for gauge and such, it depends on how much amperage you have running through it, and the length of wire.
What does awg stands for?
AWG stands for American Wire Gauge. It is a standardized wire gauging system for the diameters of round, solid, electrically conducting wire.
What is a wire diameter?
American wire gauge (AWG), also known as the Brown & Sharpe wire gauge, is a standardized wire gauge system used since 1857 predominantly in North America for the diameters of round, solid, nonferrous, electrically conducting wire.
What is the minimum amps for a 220 outlet?
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.
