6 AWG. It is the amps that matter most, but there are other elements in that a maximum voltage may be specified as it relates to the insulation on the wire. In an auto the wire is usually stranded rather than solid.

What is the amp size of a 8 wire?
40 amp
What wire size do you use for a 760 watt amp?
Wire is sized by the amperage applied to the wire. To answer this question a voltage needs to be stated. I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts. A #14 copper conductor is rated at 15 amps.
What size ground wire is needed for 20 amp?
A #14 wire will do fine for grounding a 20 amp device. That is the size of the ground wire in a 2 conductor # 12 wire building cable.
Is neutral wire same size as hot in 200 amp panel?
Yes, they are the same size wire.
What size amp breaker you need for a ac and a heater unit?
The sizing of a breaker is dependant upon the size of the wire it protects. The size of the wire is dependant upon what the load current in amps is. Without the amperage and wattage and the voltage of the appliances an answer can not be given. W = A x V, Amps = Watts/ Volts.
What size breaker do you need for two 60W bulbes 110 volts?
It is not the number of bulbs that you worry about. It is the wire size that is your concern. If the circuit is wired with AWG 12/2 wire then use a 20 amp breaker. If it is wired with a AWG 14/2 wire then use a 15 amp breaker. You are protecting the wiring with the correct size breaker.

What wire size for 15000 Volts and 550 amp service?
There are two distinct questions here. To determine the wire size to carry 15000 volts the circuits load amperage must be stated. The wire size for a 550 amp service is, an 800 MCM copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C. This conductor is rated at 555 amps. Parallel 250 MCM will give you a total capacity of 580 amps. A triple run of 2/0 will give you a total capacity of 585 amps.
What wire size needed for a RV 30 amp 120v at 90 feet?
For single phase 30 amps at 120 volts you would need a #8 copper wire with an insulation rating of 90 degrees C.
Is neutral wire same size as hot in 200 amp panel?
Yes, they are the same size wire.

14 wire for 2.4kw?
14 gauge wire is for 15 amp circuits. At 220 volts that would be enough for 2.4 kw.At 120 volts it would need 12 gauge wire which is rated for 20 amps.
What is amp size for 14 wire?
15 amps.
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.
How many amps is a 16 gauge wire 12 volts rated for?
12 ga, 20 amp. 14 ga, 15 amp. 16 ga, 10 amp.
