The key parameter in sizing wire is the current requirement. Once you know that you can look up value in a wire gauge table. The length of the run is important for longer runs because of the resistance of the wire itself. Aluminum wire requires a larger diameter than copper for the same current. Once you calculate the wire size you can then size the conduit.
A 10 mm cable is most commonly used for a 500 KVA transformer, 240 volt, 3 phrase. The size of the wire that is used in a transformer is based on the voltage.
Yes, 120 and 240 volts can be run in the same conduit.
The question is irrelevant if you don't include the amperage.
Yes <<>> In North America, a three wire 120/240 volt system uses a neutral wire. For 240 volts two "hot" wires are used with no neutral.
For a 240 volt 40 amp circuit, the appropriate wire size is typically 8 AWG (American Wire Gauge) for copper conductors.

The appropriate wire size for a 40 amp 240 volt circuit is typically 8 AWG (American Wire Gauge) for copper wire or 6 AWG for aluminum wire. It is important to consult with a licensed electrician to ensure the correct wire size for your specific installation.
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.

Yes, you can use 600 volt wire for a 240 volt appliance. Just make sure that the wire meets the appropriate gauge size for the current draw of the appliance to avoid overheating and ensure safety.
Yes 220 & 240 are considered the same.

no
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.
