A 30 amp breaker run 75 feet would require you use AWG #10 wire. But, an oven normally pulls more that 30 amps and I would not use #10 wire on a 30 amp breaker for an oven. Normally any newer oven is wired with AWG #6 gauge wire on a 50 amp circuit breaker so the breaker will not trip during heavy use of the oven. Some older ovens could use a #8 wire on a 40 amp breaker.

What is the required wire size for a 230 feet run 480 volt 100 amp?
Depends on length. The more length, the more resistance.
What size aluminum wire needed for 30 amp at 240 volt for 500 feet underground?
A 1/0 aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 30 amps for 500 feet on a 240 volt system.
What is the wire size for 208 volt?
As with any electrical installation, the wire size used depends on the expected maximum current the wire will carry. That cannot be determined by voltage alone.
What wire size is needed for 15 volt circuit?
The wire size depends on how much current it will conduct.
What size wire is required for 277 volt fluorescent lighting?
Wire size is governed by amperage not voltage. Voltage is an insulation factor when talking about wire. Add up the amperage of fixtures you want in the circuit. Once that is found then the size of the wire can be calculated.
What size wire for 25 amp 110 volt for 75 feet?
In the US and Canada, 10 Guage wire will suffice
What is the required wire size for a 230 feet run 480 volt 100 amp?
Depends on length. The more length, the more resistance.
What size aluminum wire needed for 30 amp at 240 volt for 500 feet underground?
A 1/0 aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 30 amps for 500 feet on a 240 volt system.
What size wire do I need for a 60 amp service either 750 feet or 500 feet away?
It depends on the supply voltage because at that distance the size of the wire is calculated on the volt-drop which is 5% of the supply voltage, or 3% in some countries. The allowable resistance equals the volt-drop divided by the current, then you can use wire tables to find the wire size, remembering that a supply needs 2 wires which are in series so that their resistances add. <<>> To answer this question a voltage value has to be stated. This is due to the higher the voltage the lower the current on a specific load. The lower the current, the smaller the wire size can be.
What size wire in a 40 amp 12 volt circuit?
Use 8 gauge wire.
Can you replace a 13 amp 125 volt appliance cord with a 15 amp 125 volt cord?
Yes, no problem at all going to a larger ampacity of wire. Larger size wire yes, smaller size wire no.
What wire size is needed for 30amp load for 34 feet on 12 volts DC?
8 gauge will be sufficient with less than a half volt drop
What wire size 240 volt 21 amps 150 foot run?
A #10 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 21 amps for 150 feet on a 240 volt system.
What size wire for an 80 amp 220 volt circuit?
# 3 gauge
What wire size for 70 amp service at 240 volt?
4 copper
What size wire is required for a 220 volt at 54 amps?
6 AWG
What is the wire size for 208 volt?
As with any electrical installation, the wire size used depends on the expected maximum current the wire will carry. That cannot be determined by voltage alone.
