What else can I help you with?
What size wire and circuit breaker is needed for an electric oven 4 wires with rated load of 34.9 amps 220v that is about 100 foot run from the electrical panel?
That would be a 40 amp 220v circuit. Circuit breaker is 40 amps and wire is 8 awg. Should use solid copper wire. Follow oven installation instructions.
What happen when a fuse wire of 100 ampere is used when a circuit at home draws a maximum current of 20 ampere?
The fuse or breaker should be no bigger than specified for the wiring and devices on the circuit. Your nominal current draw may be 20 amps, but a short circuit would cause maximum current to flow which in this case would be 100 amps until the fuse blew.
What wire 240 volts 6500 watts 100 ft?
The sizing of wire is calculated by the amount of current the circuit draws. To find the amperage when the wattage is known use the following formula, Amps = Watts/Volts. 6500/240 = 27 amps. A #10 AWG copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less, when supplying 27 amps at 240 volts for a 100 foot distance.
What gauge cable to run 240 volts?
The voltage has nothing to do with the gauge of wire needed to supply a given circuit. The size wire is determined by the amperage of the overcurrent protection device (circuit breaker, etc.) being used to supply power to the circuit.
What size of wire is required for 20 amps 220v over 100 ft?
For a 20 amp, 220V circuit over a 100 ft distance, you would ideally use a 10 gauge wire to minimize voltage drop and ensure safety. A 10 gauge wire can safely handle 20 amps of current and is appropriate for this application.

What is the maximum current capacity of a 100 amp circuit breaker?
The maximum current capacity of a 100 amp circuit breaker is 100 amps.
What wire size is good for 100 amps?
# 4 copper wire short distance.
How many amps is 3 awg wire good for?
It depends on the application, but for Single-Phase dwelling service and feeders 3 AWG copper is good for 110 amps. That really equates to 100 amps since you can't get a 110 amp circuit breaker.
What is the appropriate wire gauge for a 100 amp electrical circuit?
The appropriate wire gauge for a 100 amp electrical circuit is typically 3 AWG copper wire.

What is the recommended wire size for a 100 amp circuit using THHN wire?
The recommended wire size for a 100 amp circuit using THHN wire is typically 3 AWG (American Wire Gauge).
What gauge cable to run 240 volts?
The voltage has nothing to do with the gauge of wire needed to supply a given circuit. The size wire is determined by the amperage of the overcurrent protection device (circuit breaker, etc.) being used to supply power to the circuit.
