What is more efficient to run a pool pump on 120 Volt or 240 Volt?
240
What size conduit and aluminum wire for a 400 foot run on a 120 240 volt system?
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.
Will 2.5mm wire conduct 240 volts?
You size wire by the current. Various insulations are rated for voltage, temperature and the medium where the wire will be run.
What size wire do you need to run 100 ft 75 amp 230 volt?
Depends on the size of the circuit which you did not list.
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.
