AWG 10.
6 AWG.
As a service entrance wire you need AWG # 3/0 gauge copper.
To answer this question a voltage needs to be stated. Wire is sized by the amount of amperage the load takes. W = Amps x Volts. Amps = 650/ volts.
# 4 copper wire short distance.
AWG 10.
The only way to determine the cable wire size needed for a 1000 watt air conditioner is to find the load size. To get the load size you will need to use the formula Amps = Watts or Volts. With that being said, you will need a number 14 copper wire.
Number 10 thnn copper wire.
8 AWG.
6 AWG.
Cable sizing is based on load amperage. The formula you need to use is Amps = Watts/Volts. Amps = 1000/220 = 4.55 amps. A #14 copper wire with a insulation factor of 60, 75 and 90 degrees C is rated at 15, 15 and 15 amps respectively.
Look on the heater and see what amps it is pulling. That will determine the wire size and breaker size. It must be on a dedicated circuit. 15 amps = AWG # 14 wire with 15 amp breaker 20 amps = AWG # 12 wire with 20 amp breaker 30 amps = AWG # 10 wire with 30 amp breaker 40 amps = AWG # 8 wire with 40 amp breaker
Need to know the wire size.
10 gauge
As a service entrance wire you need AWG # 3/0 gauge copper.
A #4 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 85 amps. This size wire will also be the same for a load amperage of 68 amps as the next wire size smaller #6 is only rated at 65 amps.
Double you answer for 2000 amps and for times your answer for 1000 amps.
