For USA, Canada and countries running a 120/240 volt 60 Hz power supply service and also for countries in Europe and other world areas running a 230 volt 50 Hz power supply service.
There is no conversion, wire size is based on the load current of the circuit. It is stated in the electrical code books what the maximum capacity of each conductor size will allow. The voltage is independent of the wire size. When discussing voltage it is the insulation factor that you have to be concerned about. The applied voltage to a wire should never be more that the insulation factor. Common insulation voltages of most used wires are 300, 600 and 1000 volts.
As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized

What else can I help you with?
What size wire and breaker for a 240 volt single phase 20 kw electric furnace rated at 83.3 amps?
AWG #3 copper.
What is the proper size wire cord for a 12 amp vacuum sweeper 120 volt?
16 gauge is rated at 13 amps, but I would use 14 gauge which is rated at 15 amps just to be safe.
What size aluminum wire to feed 125 Amps 220 volt a distance of 175' and what size ground?
A 3/0 aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to3% or less when supplying 125 amps for 175 feet on a 220 volt system. If the 125 amp load is a sub distribution panel that is not going to be fully loaded to 125 amps then using the exact connected load, which might be smaller than 125 amps will effect the wire sizing. The grounding conductor for that size distribution panel is #6 bare copper.
What size wire do you need for a 208 volt 3 phase load that draws 10.5 amps?
The size of conductor needed will be a #14. It should be copper and have an insulation factor of 90 degrees C. The fact that it is a three phase load does not enter into the calculation of the wire size.
What size wire do you need for 15 amps?
AWG 10.
What is the recommended wire size for a 220 volt circuit according to the 220 volt wire size chart?
The recommended wire size for a 220 volt circuit according to the 220 volt wire size chart is typically 10 gauge wire for a circuit with a maximum of 30 amps.
What wire size 240 volt 21 amps 150 foot run?
A #10 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 21 amps for 150 feet on a 240 volt system.
What size wire is required for a 220 volt at 54 amps?
For a 220 volt circuit at 54 amps, you would need a wire rated for at least 6 AWG (American Wire Gauge) size to handle the current safely. It's always recommended to consult with a licensed electrician or refer to local electrical codes for specific requirements.
What wire size is used for 100 watt 12 volt lamp?
For a 100 watt 12 volt lamp, you should use a wire gauge size of at least 18 AWG to ensure it can handle the current without overheating. It's always best to refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for the specific lamp you are using.
What wire size in a 20 amp 250 volt circuit?
For a 20 amp 250 volt circuit, you would typically use a 12-gauge wire. This wire size is rated to safely handle the current and voltage requirements of the circuit without overheating. It is important to always refer to local electrical codes and regulations to ensure compliance.
What size wire and breaker for a 240 volt single phase 20 kw electric furnace rated at 83.3 amps?
AWG #3 copper.
What wire size for 70 amp service at 240 volt?
For a 70 amp service at 240 volts, you would typically use a wire size of 4 AWG copper wire. This wire size is suitable for carrying 70 amps of current safely over a 240 volt circuit. Be sure to consult local electrical codes and regulations to ensure compliance with requirements in your area.
Fuse size for 7.5 HP 3 Phase 440 Volt Motor?
The electrical code states that a 7.5 HP 460 volt three phase motor draws 11 amps. For fuse sizes, non time delay - 30 amps, time delay type D - 20 amps and if using a breaker it will be 30 amps. Minimum wire size is #12 and the maximum setting of overload devices will be 13.75 amps
What is the appropriate wire size for a circuit requiring 60 amps?
The appropriate wire size for a circuit requiring 60 amps is typically 6-gauge wire.
What is the recommended wire size for a 220-volt electrical circuit?
The recommended wire size for a 220-volt electrical circuit is typically 10-gauge wire.
What size wire is used for a 220 volt dryer?
For a standard clothes dryer, new homes are roughed in with 3C #10 cable which is rated at 30 amps.
What gauge wire for 240 volt at 40 amps?
For a 240 volt circuit at 40 amps, you should use 8-gauge wire. This wire size is rated to safely carry 40 amps of current and is suitable for most residential applications. Be sure to consult local electrical codes and regulations before undertaking any wiring project.
