∙ 10y agoWire 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.
A 1/0 aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 30 amps for 500 feet on a 240 volt system.
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.
The wire size depends on how much current it will conduct.
Depends on the size of the circuit which you did not list.
For a 25 amp load at 110 volts over a distance of 75 feet, it is recommended to use a minimum of 10 gauge wire to ensure proper conductivity and safety. Using a wire gauge smaller than 10 may result in voltage drop and overheating of the wire.

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.
For a 60 amp service: At 750 feet away, you would need at least #4 copper or #2 aluminum wire to account for voltage drop. At 500 feet away, you could use #6 copper or #4 aluminum wire for the same purpose.
Yes, no problem at all going to a larger ampacity of wire. Larger size wire yes, smaller size wire no.
Use 8 gauge wire.
For a 30 amp load at 12 volts DC over a distance of 34 feet, a wire size of at least AWG 8 would be recommended to minimize voltage drop and ensure efficient power delivery. It is important to consult with local electrical codes and standards to ensure compliance with regulations.
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.
