Actual voltage would be 240V. 4 AWG copper is capable of carrying 50A. At 200 ft, with a 50A load, voltage drop would be about 6V, which is within the acceptable 3% voltage drop for a branch circuit.

What size wire is needed for carrying 100 amps under ground?
To calculate the wire size, a system voltage is needed.
What is amp size for 16 wire?
10 amps is the maximum it will carry.
How many amps will 10 wire hold?
10 awg wire can have a breaker size of 30amps. It can actually carry more but as for codes the wire is usually allowed to carry 80% of its max capability which puts the breaker at a max size of 30 amps.
What size wire to carry 30 amps 75 feet?
This is a voltage drop question. To answer the question about distance a voltage must be stated. That said a #10 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C are both rated at 30 amps.
What wire size is used in the 60 amp low voltage cable?
#6 AWG50sqmm Al cable can carry 60 amps safely up to 150mtrs. If distance increases size should increase
What size wire to carry 25 amps 170 ft?
To answer this question a voltage must be given.
What is the cable size for 90 kw motor?
Depends upon the voltage. The formula for amperage or (wire size) is Watts / Voltage. If the voltage is 220 volts, then the amperage would be over 400 amps. This would require a large wire size to run it. If it were 440 volts, the amperage would be 1/2 or 200 amps. That would require a smaller wire size. As the voltage goes up, the amperage goes down. At a thousand volts, the amperage would only be 90 amps. A wire gauge or size of a #2 would carry 90 amps for small distances.
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 55kw?
Wire is sized by the amperage that it will carry. 5 kW is 5000 watts. The equation to find watts is W = Amps x Volts. The equation to find amps is Amps = Watts/Volts. As you can see a voltage is needed to calculate the amperage. Once the amperage is stated, the wire size can be given for that particular amperage.
What size wire to carry 8 amps at 120 volts?
A # 14 copper conductor will be fine to carry 8 amps at 120 volts. This size conductor is rated at 15 amps.
What wire size to carry 16 amps 100 ft?

How many watts can 16 gauge stranded wire carry?
To answer this question a voltage and amperage must be stated. W = Amps x Volts.
What wire size is used in the 60 amp low voltage cable?
#6 AWG50sqmm Al cable can carry 60 amps safely up to 150mtrs. If distance increases size should increase
How do you solve for the size of wire when the given is kva?
The V stands for volts and A is amps. If for example you have a 12kVA device and are running off a voltage of 120 volts then Amps = 12000/120 = 100. You then use the calculated amps in a wire size table to get the correct size.
