What gauge wire is required for 110 volts and to deliver 20 amps at a distance of 150 feet?

Answer 1

For delivering 20 amps at 110 volts over a distance of 150 feet, a wire gauge of at least 10 AWG is recommended to minimize voltage drop and ensure safe current carrying capacity. Using a larger wire gauge, such as 8 AWG, would be even better for this application.

Answer 2

For delivering 20 amps at 110 volts over a distance of 150 feet, a wire gauge of at least 10 AWG is recommended to minimize voltage drop and ensure safe current carrying capacity. Using a larger wire gauge, such as 8 AWG, would be even better for this application.

Answer 3

www.csgnetwork.com/wiresizecalc.html says #3. (Though that seems a bit pessimistic, you might want to check another table) Remember when using this calculator that your total circuit length is twice the run of your wire (feed & return).

Answer 4

The minimum size conductor needed based on a 3% Voltage Drop for a 120 volt single phase service is 2/0 copper or 4/0 aluminum. It does not take into consideration other factors such as minimum ampacity based on the National Electric Code Table 310-16. ( Allowable ampacitys of conductors ). Consult The National Electrical Code for further details. For further information search for "Voltage Drop Calculator".

Answer 5

It is considered a 120 volt circuit. You will have a voltage drop of 4.89 volts if you use AWG #12. Unless you are going to be using sophisticated electronic equipment in this area AWG #12 will be fine to use. Otherwise use AWG #10 on a 20 amp breaker.

Answer 6

To answer this question a voltage is needed.

Answer 7

I would recommend AWG #12 on a 20 amp breaker.

Answer 8

Use 2/0 AWG.
