How do you determine messenger wire size?
The messenger in triplex and quad is already determined by the wire size that is wrapped around it. It is the maximum span distance that you should find for the size of over head cable that is being used.
How big is 6 gauge wire?
The size of the wire is stated by its gauge under American Wire Gauge. Six gauge wire is size 6 AWG.
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 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 size wire to use to install a thermostat?
Use what is called bell wire or thermostat wire.
How do you determine messenger wire size?
The messenger in triplex and quad is already determined by the wire size that is wrapped around it. It is the maximum span distance that you should find for the size of over head cable that is being used.
What cable wire size for 1000 watts aircondition?
The only way to determine the cable wire size needed for a 1000 watt air conditioner is to find the load size. To get the load size you will need to use the formula Amps = Watts or Volts. With that being said, you will need a number 14 copper wire.
Is there a calculator for wire size amps and feet?
Yes, there is one at http://www.rapidtables.com/calc/wire/wire-gauge-chart.htm. You can find others by searching for 'wire tables.' Ignore the images of garden tables made from wires.
How do you calculate the voltage drop for 238 KW 3 phase 415 V and length of circuit is 20 meters?
You need also to know the resistance of the cable. First you establish what the current of the load is. Then from that you calculate the wire size. From a wire size chart you find the wire resistance. Then use the formula I (squared) x R.
When is wire size and electrical hazard?
Wire size is the gauge (thickness of wire) hazard is almost anything not wired correctly.
Explain wire size as opposed to gauge size?
Wire size refers to the physical dimensions of a wire, usually expressed in millimeters or inches. Gauge size, on the other hand, is a measurement of the wire's diameter based on a specific gauge system (such as AWG or SWG). So, while wire size refers to the actual physical dimensions, gauge size is a standardized measurement used for electrical wiring.
How big is 6 gauge wire?
The size of the wire is stated by its gauge under American Wire Gauge. Six gauge wire is size 6 AWG.
What is the proper wire nut size for 12 2 wire?
For a 12-2 wire (which consists of a black insulated wire, a white insulated wire, and a bare copper ground wire), you should use a red wire nut. This wire nut size is designed to accommodate two to three 12-gauge wires, which is suitable for connecting your 12-2 wire.
How do you calculate XL-PE cable size for 6.6 KV 300 KW motor?
Find out how much current the motor draws, then look up wire tables to find out the size of wire. Ask an electrician if you are not unfamiliar with this because working at 6.6 kV is definitely lethal for the unqualified.
What size wire would you use for a 70KW 240 vac single phase generator?
For a 70kW 240V single phase generator, you would typically use a wire size of 3/0 AWG copper wire. This size wire is rated to handle the current carrying capacity required for a generator of that size to ensure safe and efficient operation. Be sure to consult with a professional electrician to confirm the correct wire size for your specific installation.
Does copper wire insulate?
The insulation on a wire is applied after the wire is drawn to size.
How to calculate the best wire size to use with a 10-32 UNF-2A thread?
10-32 unf-2a <<>> The wire size does not need to be calculated. Use a wire terminal end that crimps to the wire. These terminal end come in various wire sizes and bolt hole sizes. Pick the correct end for the wire size you are using and then in that wire size range, pick the correct bolt hole size that fits the bolt.
