40 awg
<<>>
The above answer is incorrect. A #40 wire is smaller that telephone wire which is #22 awg.
A #8 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 60 degrees C is rated at 40 amps. For a built in safety factor, a #8 conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C has a rating of 45 amps.

How do you solve for the size of wire when the given is kva?
The V stands for volts and A is amps. If for example you have a 12kVA device and are running off a voltage of 120 volts then Amps = 12000/120 = 100. You then use the calculated amps in a wire size table to get the correct size.
What size breaker do you need for two 60W bulbes 110 volts?
It is not the number of bulbs that you worry about. It is the wire size that is your concern. If the circuit is wired with AWG 12/2 wire then use a 20 amp breaker. If it is wired with a AWG 14/2 wire then use a 15 amp breaker. You are protecting the wiring with the correct size breaker.
Can you use 40 amp breaker for your lights and plug ins?
If you are referring to house wiring then the answer is no. A breaker protects the wire size that is connected to the breaker. In home wiring most homes are wired with a #14 wire which is rated at 15 amps. That is why the wire is protected by a 15 amp breaker. The correct wire size to connect to a 40 amp breaker is a #8. This size wire is too large to connect to receptacles an light fixture terminals.
What size conduit is correct for 10-3 gauge wire?
You can pull 10 #3 gauge wires in a 2 1/2" conduit.
What size wire do you need to run for 30 amp service to travel trailer 400 feet single phase 110 volt?
Presuming that you would like the least expensive installation, the following is calculated on overhead aluminum wire. The wire size needed to hold the voltage drop to 3% would be 3/0 MCM. If the installation could be run on 240 volts then the wire size can be reduced to #2.
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.
