What is the minimum wire size used in a commercial building?
The minimum size wire that engineers spec for industrial and commercial installations is #12 and it usually is stranded not solid wire.
Is 350mcm size wire the smallest wire that can be installed in a parallel permitted by the nec?
In the CEC only 1/0 and larger conductors can be run in parallel.
What is the minimum branch-circuit wire size that may be installed in a dwelling?
14 awg
What is the minimum cable size required for 400Amps incoming supply?
A 600 MCM copper conductor with a insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated for 420 and 455 amps respectively. To reduce the wire size from a single conductor, a parallel feed of 3/0 can be used.
What is the minimum size AWG copper conductor permitted for conductors with a 0 to 2000v voltage rating?
When you talk of voltage, you should be thinking of the insulation factor of the wire. By the same token when you talk of wire size, it is based on the amperage the wire is required to handle.
What is the minimum wire size for desk lamp cords?
Most lamp wire is parallel #16 conductors.
What is the Minimum branch circuit wire size in a dwelling?
The minimum size home wiring is #14 AWG, the rating for that size wire is 15 amps.

Is 350mcm size wire the smallest wire that can be installed in a parallel permitted by the nec?
In the CEC only 1/0 and larger conductors can be run in parallel.
What size conduit and aluminum wire for a 400 foot run for 200 amps?
The question can't be answered without knowing what the voltage is. That is because the allowed voltage drop is 5% of the supply voltage, so you need to know the supply voltage. Then the wire calculation aims to find out what the minimum size of wire is that produces that voltage drop or less.
What size wire do you need to run to an air conditioner that has a maximum breaker size of 40 amps and a minimum circuit size of 25.3 amps?
Number 10 thnn copper wire.
