That is not home wiring. I would use 4/00 gauge.

A 750MCM wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 500 amps. A parallel run of two 500MCM will give you 1000 amp capacity.

What size of wire should be used for 60Hz?
The frequency has no direct relationship to the size of wire. Wire is sized as to the amount of current a load draws in a circuit.
What size amp circuit breaker should be used for a home entertainment system?
You use the correct size breaker depending on the size wire in the circuit. If the circuit is wired with AWG #12 wire use a 20 amp breaker. If it is wired with AWG #14 wire then use a 15 amp breaker.
When installing a circuit breaker do you size the breaker to correct wire size or the device its controlling?
When installing a circuit breaker, you size the breaker based on the wire size. The breaker should be matched to the ampacity of the wire to ensure proper protection against overloads and short circuits. The device being controlled by the breaker is not a determining factor in sizing the breaker.
Can a circuit breaker be tripped by using 20 amp sockets instead of 15 amp sockets?
A circuit breaker protects the wires that the devices are connected to. If the devices that are connected to the circuit are 20 amps the wire size should be #12 wire fed from a 20 amp breaker. This breaker should not trip unless the circuit is overloaded or a fault occurs on the circuit. If the devices that are connected to the circuit are15 amps the wire size should be #14 wire fed from a15 amp breaker. This breaker should not trip unless the circuit is overloaded or a fault occurs on the circuit. Putting 20 amp sockets on this 15 amp circuit will work but the circuit is limited to the amount of load that can be plugged in. You will not get the full capacity of the 20 socket because the breaker will trip at 15 amps.
Should you Run a 20amp circuit 150 feet with?
If this question is asking about voltage drop, to size a wire, a voltage is needed.

What size amp circuit breaker should be used for a geyser?
Depends on how many amps it pulls and the size of the wire in the circuit.
What size amp circuit breaker should be used for a home entertainment system?

What size amp circuit breaker should be used in a kitchen with aluminum wire?
Don't use aluminum wire inside the house.
What effect would thinner wire have in a circuit?
The smaller the wire size used in a circuit limits the amount of current that is allow to be flow through that circuit.

What size amp circuit breaker should be used for 110 outlet?
The size breaker you use is determined by the size wire used in the circuit. If you use AWG #12/2 wire then use a 20 amp breaker. If you use AWG # 14/2 then use a 15 amp breaker.
What size wire would you use to wire a motor that draws 16A from a circuit?
12
How are Branch circuit protected?
Branch circuits are protected by the circuit breaker found in the electrical panel. Each circuit should have its one breaker. The breaker should be rated to protect the insulation of the wire, so you can determine the breaker size based on the circuit conductor size Example #14-2 should be protected by a 15 amp breaker
What wire in a circuit should contain the fuse?
The live wire
