For single phase 30 amps at 120 volts you would need a #8 copper wire with an insulation rating of 90 degrees C.
That distance you are going to have to install a sub-panel and run AWG # 4 wire and even then you will have a voltage drop of 7.45 volts giving you 232.55 volts at the sub-panel which is acceptable.
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.
You size wire by the current. Various insulations are rated for voltage, temperature and the medium where the wire will be run.
To answer this question a voltage needs to be stated. Wire is sized by the amount of amperage the load takes. W = Amps x Volts. Amps = 650/ volts.
3/0 wire 3/0 wire
Yes, 14-2 wire is rated to carry up to 15 amps of current. However, the length of the wire, in this case 80ft, can increase the resistance of the wire, potentially causing voltage drop. It's recommended to consult with an electrician to ensure the wire size and length are suitable for the intended application.
10 guage
For a 50 feet distance with 120 volts and 12 amps, you should use a 14-gauge wire to ensure electrical safety and efficiency. A 14-gauge wire is rated to handle up to 15 amps for household wiring applications.
For a 25 amp load at 220 volts over a distance of 75 feet, you will need a 10-gauge wire to ensure safe and efficient electrical conductivity. This wire size allows for minimal voltage drop and meets the necessary ampacity requirements for the circuit. Make sure to consult local electrical codes and regulations before installation.
A #14 wire will do the job.
the black wire is A phase, the red wire is B phase, and the white wire is the neutral. Black should have around 120 volts. Red should have 120 volts, and should add up to 240 volts with a multi meter.
Yes it depends on many variables such as what the wire is made of the size of the wire whether the wire is a multi strand wire. What governs the amount of voltage a wire can carry is the insulation that is wrapped around the wire. Like wire with ratings of 300 volts, 600 volts and 1000 volts these are the highest allowable voltages that can be applied. A wire that is rated for 300 volts is good for 120 volts, 240 volts and 277 volts. At test research facilities, insulation is tested to destruction. The label that is given to the wire insulation as a result of the tests is the highest safest voltages that can be applied to that particular type.
