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.

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.


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.

#8 copper


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 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 size wire is needed for a 150 foot 350amp 208V 3phase circuit?

A 500 MCM copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 350 amps for 150 feet on a 208 volt system.

Can you use 220 Volt 3 Phase as 208 Volt 3 Phase?

Yes by using a 3-phase transformer. The size depends on how much power has to be converted.
