240 Volt 60 Hz supplies are used in the US, Canada and other countries which use similar wiring codes. (Click the related question to see its answer.)
Perhaps someone can give an answer to this question here concerning 240 Volt, 60 Hz supplies? == == Assuming you are in the UK [240v, 50 Hz is what the original answerer said, but, please note in the UK the National Grid has been running at a nominal 230 Volts for some time now. (Click the related question to see its answer.)]
Your question does not give very much information. Do you need to run a cable 60ft to power an appliance drawing 20A. For short runs, 2.5mm would suffice, but at this length, I would suggest going to 6mm or if you really want to play safe, 10mm cable. Don't forget that Part P of the Building Regulations, regarding Electrical Safety, may apply, in which case you will need to apply to your Local Council (= Local Authority) *before you start* and pay them lots of money to inspect your new installation!
Unless you know *exactly* what you are doing, employ an NICEIC contractor (who will be able to self-certify) to do the job for you. You can still do the donkey work, following his verbal or written instructions, but he must make all the connections. IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB

If you do this work yourself, always turn off the powerat the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND always use a meter or voltage indicator to insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

What electrical wiring is required when fitting a new kitchen?
AWG 12/2 wire on a 20 amp breaker. There must be 2 kitchen outlet circuits and each circuit must be protected with a GFCI outlet. Each of these items must be on it's own dedicated 20 amp circuit. Garbage disposal, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator. This will require 6 dedicated 120 volt 20 amp circuits plus a 240 volt 60 amp circuit for the range.
What wire size for 240 volt at 60 ft run?
The question is irrelevant if you don't include the amperage.
Will using 240 volts ac 60 cycle damage 240 volt 50 cycle equipment?
It shouldn't damage the equipment. But it will probably not work properly.
A three-wire installation provides a power source for?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.A three wire installation provides a power source for independent 120 volt circuits and 240 volt circuit with neutral.A common 120/240 volt 200 amp distribution service panel can have 42 circuits supplied from it. These circuits can be in any number of different combinations of 120 volts or 240 volts.
What size wire for a 45 AMP fuse?
what size wire would be required for an ak012 with a power supply of 208/240-3-60 hz
What type of electricity is used in most homes?

Can you use 220 V with 60 Hz appliances from South Korea in US with 240 V outlets?
If the appliance is 220 volt 60 Htz, yes it will work perfectly in the U.S. plugged into a 240 volt outlet.
Can you change 30 amp to 60 amp?
Changing from a 30 amp circuit to a 60 amp circuit typically involves installing a new circuit breaker, upgrading the wiring, and ensuring that all components can handle the increased amperage. It's important to consult a licensed electrician to assess your electrical system and make the necessary changes to safely accommodate the higher amp rating.
How many watts will a 60 amp 2pole breaker handle?
A 60 amp 2-pole breaker can handle up to 14,400 watts (60 amps x 240 volts). This is because a 2-pole breaker provides 240 volts, which is the typical voltage for larger appliances and machinery.
How many amps does ti take to run 60 watt lightbulbs?
A 60-watt lightbulb typically draws 0.5 amps of current when connected to a 120-volt power supply. This is calculated using the formula: Current (in amps) = Power (in watts) / Voltage (in volts).
How do you switch from 120 volt to 240 volt in house?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.To operate a 240 volt load in the home you use two adjacent breakers. This will give you a voltage of 240 volts where as one breaker to neutral will give you 120 volts.
What are the common multiples of 20 and 60?
60, 120, 180, 240
What is the least common multiple of 20 60 and 80?
The LCM of 20, 60, and 80 is 240
What is the least common multiple of 20 48 and 60?
The LCM of 20, 48, and 60 is 240.
What wire size for 240 volt at 60 ft run?
The question is irrelevant if you don't include the amperage.
What is two thirds of one half of one fourth of 240?
Answer: 20 1/4 or 240 is 60 and one half of 60 is 30 and 2/3 of 30 is 60/3 or 20
