NO! I maintain an old school from the 1940's and i agree w/ the Indiana certified w/ electrical code of that day ( still applies as the copper has not changed) #10 is good for 20 amps up to 100' and then you must derated it to 18 amps for continuous load. # 12 good for 15 amps ( 12 amp continuous) The codes today are nuts but they do say " minimum" allowed by NEC. Ive been doing this for 30 years.
The number of automotive amps a 30-foot strand of copper wire can carry depends on the gauge (thickness) of the wire. For example, a 30-foot strand of 10-gauge copper wire can typically carry up to 40-50 amps for automotive use, while a 30-foot strand of 12-gauge wire might be limited to around 25-30 amps. It's important to consult wire ampacity tables and consider factors like temperature and voltage drop to ensure safe and effective performance.
An 8-gauge wire can typically carry around 40-50 amps of current. However, the actual capacity may vary depending on factors such as insulation type, installation method, and ambient temperature. It is always best to consult the National Electrical Code (NEC) or a licensed electrician for specific guidance.
On a 50 amp 3 phase connector, you can pull 50 amps per leg. This means that each of the three phases can carry up to 50 amps individually, resulting in a total capacity of 50 amps per leg.
A 10-gauge wire can typically handle around 30-35 amps of current. It is important to consult the National Electric Code and wire manufacturer specifications to determine the maximum current carrying capacity of a specific wire in a given installation.
The ampacity of an 8 gauge wire at 240 volts would depend on the specific type of wire and the installation conditions. Generally, an 8 gauge wire can safely carry around 40-50 amps of current. It is important to consult the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local regulations for precise guidance.
50 amps.

You will need a 40 amp breaker using AWG # 8 wire running it a distance of no more than 50 feet.

6 AWG.
A 228 sq mm conductor equates to 450 MCM. A conductor of 450 MCM is not a standard AWG wire size. A standard 400 MCM will carry 380 amps. A standard 500 MCM will carry 430 amps. Difference between 400 and 500 MCM amperage's is 50 amps. Transposing between the two amperage's of 50 amps will be 380 + 25 = 405 or 430 - 25 = 405 amps. This is a very rough calculated answer for the question.

Generally 40 amps continuous or 50 amps surge is safe.
12awg will handle about 20 amps, so 10awg should handle 25-30 amps. Keep in mind that length plays a role in wire size selection. In house wiring, a wire run of 50 ft will work for 15 amps at 14awg, but increase the length to 100ft and you should use 12awg to carry 15 amps correctly.
The ampacity of an 8 gauge wire at 240 volts would depend on the specific type of wire and the installation conditions. Generally, an 8 gauge wire can safely carry around 40-50 amps of current. It is important to consult the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local regulations for precise guidance.
For a 220V circuit carrying 50 amps over 200 ft, you would need a wire size of at least 6 AWG (American Wire Gauge). This size wire will ensure that there is minimal voltage drop over the distance and that the wire can safely carry the current without overheating.
