Can I run a 230 volt 20 amp table saw on 10 3 with a 250 foot run?

Yes you can. If you don't need 120 volts at the saw then you can use 2Conductor # 10 copper wire. FYI, don't know if you know it, but you don't count the bare ground wire in the conductor count. Anyways With # 10 wire you will get a 6 volt drop at the end of 250 feet which is 2.5% leaving you a working voltage of 234 volts.


Can you run a 10 gauge wire 250 feet to the barn on a 120 amp breaker in the house If not what amp breaker should I use?

#10 cable is no good for 120 amps, you need #2 cable, and it can be used at a distance of 250 ft.


What size wire for 250 foot extension cord to run a 120 Volt 8 amp electric tree trimmer?

For a 5% volt drop of 6 volts the total resistance should be less than 6/8 ohms, 0.75 ohms, which for a total wire run of 500 ft is equivalent to 1.5 ohms per 1000 ft. Wire tables show that a #10 cable should be used. A #12 cable would give a volt drop of 5.3% which would probably be acceptable for occasional use and easier to store.


What size wire and circuit breaker is needed for an electric oven 4 wires with rated load of 34.9 amps 220v that is about 100 foot run from the electrical panel?

That would be a 40 amp 220v circuit. Circuit breaker is 40 amps and wire is 8 awg. Should use solid copper wire. Follow oven installation instructions.


Solid wire vs stranded ground wire on a 200 amp service which one do you use on my home?

Stranded wire is the choice as you have tight bends and a short run, solid wire isn't very good in this format.
