A #1 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 95 amps for 200 feet on a 208 volt system. This size will allow the conductor to be loaded to 76 amps. 95 x 80% = 76 amps
Conductors are only allowed to be loaded to 80% or their rated capacity. If you need the full 95 amps then you would need to use a wire with a rating of 120 amps. 120 x 80% = 96 amps.
A 1/0 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 120 amps for 200 feet on a 208 volt system.

What is the wire size for 208 volt?
As with any electrical installation, the wire size used depends on the expected maximum current the wire will carry. That cannot be determined by voltage alone.
Does a 208 volt outlet need a neutral?
No a 208 volt outlet does not need a neutral. 208 volts is the line voltage between any two legs of a three phase 208 volt system.
How will a 3 phase panel give you 110 volts and 220 volts?
A three phase panel will not give you 110 and 220 volts. A three phase four wire panel will, but not at these voltages. The nearest voltages will be 120 and 208 volts. The 120 volt is the wye voltage of 208 volts. 208/1.73 = 120 volts. A single phase three wire panel will give you 110 and 220 volts.
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.
How do you convert 230v to 208 volts single phase?
A source of 208 volts can be obtained from any two legs of a three phase four wire 208 volt system. The two legs are classed as single phase 208 volts. The lead tags can be L1-L2, L2-L3, or L3-L1 all of which will give you 208 volts. Any of these lead tags to the grounded star point (wye) will give you 120 volts.
What AWG cable for 200' x 208 volt three phase 250 amp circuit?
A wire size of 250 MCM will limit the voltage drop to 3% over a distance of 200 feet.
Transformer 208 volt primary and 480 volt secondary three phase 75 kva what size fuses on primar and secondary?
200 and 100
What is the wire size for 208 volt?
As with any electrical installation, the wire size used depends on the expected maximum current the wire will carry. That cannot be determined by voltage alone.
Does a 208 volt outlet need a neutral?
No a 208 volt outlet does not need a neutral. 208 volts is the line voltage between any two legs of a three phase 208 volt system.
What is the voltage value between one leg of a 208 volt system and the ground wire?
Well if you are talking about phases, it would be half of 208V.
What is 208 rounded to the nearest 100?
200
What size wire do you need for a 200 Amp 240 Volt 3 phase 4 wire service on a doctors office?
You might be out of luck. Three phase delta 240 volt services are a thing of the past. As far as I know there never was a 240 volt three phase four wire. The line to neutral voltage would be 240/1.73 = 139 volts which is of no use to anyone. Three phase four wire system for business and commercial use these days is 120/208 volts. A 3/0 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 225 amps.
Why won't a 230-460 volt motor work on a 120-208 volt circuit?
Because its designed to operate at 230-460, not 120-208.
What happens when 240 volt equipment is plugged into a 208 volt source?
It should be ok
What size breaker for a 208 volt single phase motor that pulls 1.4 amps?
For a 208 volt single phase motor that pulls 1.4 amps, you would typically use a 2 amp breaker for proper protection. This allows for a small safety margin above the motor's operating current to prevent nuisance tripping. Be sure to consult the motor's manufacturer specifications for the most accurate breaker size.
What is 200 million increased by 208 percent?
200 million increased by 208 percent = 616 million.
How will a 3 phase panel give you 110 volts and 220 volts?
A three phase panel will not give you 110 and 220 volts. A three phase four wire panel will, but not at these voltages. The nearest voltages will be 120 and 208 volts. The 120 volt is the wye voltage of 208 volts. 208/1.73 = 120 volts. A single phase three wire panel will give you 110 and 220 volts.
