A 2/0 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 125 amps for 230 feet on a 240 volt system.

∙ 10y agoFor a 160' run at 125 amps, you would need at least a 2-gauge wire to minimize voltage drop and ensure safety. It's always best to consult with a qualified electrician to confirm the appropriate wire gauge for your specific situation.

#1 THHN Copper
You need a 3 conductor #10 cable. A #10 wire is rated at 30 amps.
The size of wire needed for a 220v circuit depends on the amperage of the circuit. For a typical 220v circuit at residential settings, a 10-gauge wire size is commonly used for 30 amps, while larger circuits may require 8 or 6-gauge wire for higher amperage ratings. It is important to consult with a licensed electrician to ensure the correct wire size is used for your specific application.
No, a 10-gauge wire is not heavy enough for an electric stove. Stoves typically require a larger wire size, such as 8-gauge or 6-gauge wire, to safely handle the higher power demands of an electric stove. It's important to consult a qualified electrician to ensure the proper wire size is used for your specific stove.
For carrying 100 amps underground, typically a 2-gauge copper wire or a 1/0-gauge aluminum wire would be suitable. It's important to consult with a licensed electrician to ensure the correct wire size based on distance, voltage drop, and local electrical codes.

3/0 gauge
The guage of wire for 20 amps is #12 copper.
The amps that a four gauge wire will handle will depend with the thickness of the wire. If the wire is thin, the four gauge will handle 95 amps.
AWG # 14 is the smallest wire you can install in a home and it can only be used in living areas. It will carry 15 amps.
You need a 3 conductor #10 cable. A #10 wire is rated at 30 amps.
At the service entrance you will need AWG 1/0 gauge.

140 AMPS
A #6 copper wire with an insulation factor of 75 and 90 degrees C is rated at 65 amps.
Sorry, there is no such wire size as "30 gauge" in the AWG (American Wire Gauge) system. For the ampacity rating of all standard conductor sizes, go to Table 310-16 of the National Electric Code. If you mean what wire size will carry 30 amps then a #10 copper wire insulation rating of 90 degree C is rated at 30 amps.
