To keep costs down, by special permission in the electrical code, for home wiring on a 120/240 volt system 2/0 is allowed. For any other type 200 amp service 3/0 that has a insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rate at 200 and 225 amps respectively.

What wire size is needed for 15 volt circuit?
The wire size depends on how much current it will conduct.
What size wire do you need for a 208 volt 3 phase load that draws 10.5 amps?
The size of conductor needed will be a #14. It should be copper and have an insulation factor of 90 degrees C. The fact that it is a three phase load does not enter into the calculation of the wire size.
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 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 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 wire size is needed for 15 volt circuit?
The wire size depends on how much current it will conduct.
What wire size needed for 120 volt 3000 watt load?
AWG # 10 wire on 30 amp circuit.
How do you run 4 prong 240 volt outlet?
you must run the proper size wire based on the ampacity needed, wire must have four conductors including the gound
What size wire and breaker is needed via 20ft length for a Westonhouse 1500w floodlight?
If it is a 110 volt light it can safely run on a 20 amp circuit with AWG # 12 wire.
What size wire is needed to run a 75 amp 240 volt circuit with 100 ft run?
I would use AWG # 4 copper.
What size wire do you need for a 208 volt 3 phase load that draws 10.5 amps?
The size of conductor needed will be a #14. It should be copper and have an insulation factor of 90 degrees C. The fact that it is a three phase load does not enter into the calculation of the wire size.
What size wire in a 40 amp 12 volt circuit?
Use 8 gauge wire.
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
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 size wire is needed for carrying 100 amps under ground?
To calculate the wire size, a system voltage is needed.
What size wire for an 80 amp 220 volt circuit?
# 3 gauge
What wire size for 70 amp service at 240 volt?
4 copper
