Wire is sized by the amperage applied to the wire. To answer this question a voltage needs to be stated. I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts.

What wire size needed for 120 volt 3000 watt load?
AWG # 10 wire on 30 amp circuit.
What size wire and breaker do you need for a 5000 watt garage heater?
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
Would a 12 volt battery need to use a capacitor to run a 1000 or 760 watt amp?
I have a 760 watt amp powering 2 10" subs and it works fine. my brother has a 1000 watt amp powering 2 12" subs and he got a capacitor. So it really depends on what amp your looking at. if the 760w you wont need one, if the 1000w i would be safe and buy a capacitor. for the 1000w amp you would only need a 1 or 2 farad capacitor.
What size wire should be used to connect a water heater from the panel?
The wire size is dependent upon the wattage size of your water heater. The higher the wattage the larger the wire size. A standard 3000 watt heater will use a two pole 20 amp breaker connected to 2C #12 wire.
What is the amp size of a 8 wire?
40 amp
What size gauge wire for 4000w amp?
on a 4000 watt amp the best gauge wire woul be between 2 and 0
What size gauge power wire do you need for a 4000 watt amp?
2 or 4
What size gauge power wire do you need for a 1200 watt amp?
You should use a 4 guage wire. There is a handy chart located at http://www.the12volt.com/info/recwirsz.asp which lists the proper wire size for differing wattages.
What wire size needed for 120 volt 3000 watt load?
AWG # 10 wire on 30 amp circuit.
What size hot wire do you need for a 1900 watt amp?
A 12 gauge wire can support a load of approximately 2200 watts.
Will 760 watt 2 channel amp power two 300 watt sub woofers?
Yes, but the amp is too powerful and if turned up to full volume will blow the speakers.
Can you run 1800 watt 600 Rms Type R Sub with a 760 Watt Jenson amp If i Bridge the amp?
sure. Will it be loud? No. Its just not enough power to drive that sub.

What gauge wire do you need for 1800 watt amp and 2 550 watt subs?
4 gauge
What size gauge power wire do you need for a 5000 watt amp?
Look i have a 5500 watt power acustic amp and its saids not to use nothing under 0 gauge. So use that thicker wirer mean better performance. Try it!!
What Wire kit do you use for a 180 watt amp?
18 gauge
