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.
