That depends on the load. In other words how many amps does your load utilize or how many watts? Either figure will work.

Wire size is based on amperage. The higher the load amperage the larger the wire size has to be. In this case also, the wire has to be increased in size to over come the voltage drop for the distance to the load. To receive an answer restate the question with the load amperage or wattage.
For a 50 feet distance with 120 volts and 12 amps, you should use a 14-gauge wire to ensure electrical safety and efficiency. A 14-gauge wire is rated to handle up to 15 amps for household wiring applications.
For a 500 watt light at 120 volts, you should use a 14-gauge wire to ensure that it can safely handle the load without overheating or causing a fire hazard. This wire gauge is suitable for a maximum continuous current of 15 amps, which is sufficient for a 500 watt load at 120 volts.
A reading of 80 volts could indicate a problem with the outlet wiring or a loose connection causing a voltage drop. This issue should be inspected and addressed by a qualified electrician to ensure proper and safe electrical functioning in your home.
you should be paying attention in class. you should listen. you should know the answer. what is your problem big man. the answer is obvious. it is 25 volts
For this setup, it is recommended to use a 6-gauge wire to safely run 3250 watts at 240 volts over a 60-foot distance on a 40 amp circuit for an oven in a residence. This wire size will ensure proper current carrying capacity and voltage drop is within acceptable limits for the distance.
Conduit is just a medium to get the wires from one place to another. There is no voltage restrictions in low voltage wiring (750 volts or less). When it comes to conduit fill, electricians are governed by the electrical code conduit fill tables. The conduit is sized to accommodate the conductor size for a specific load.
For a 50 feet distance with 120 volts and 12 amps, you should use a 14-gauge wire to ensure electrical safety and efficiency. A 14-gauge wire is rated to handle up to 15 amps for household wiring applications.
13.9 to 14.2 volts.
Yes, 120 and 240 volts can be run in the same conduit.
For a 500 watt light at 120 volts, you should use a 14-gauge wire to ensure that it can safely handle the load without overheating or causing a fire hazard. This wire gauge is suitable for a maximum continuous current of 15 amps, which is sufficient for a 500 watt load at 120 volts.
13.9 to 14.3 volts no lower and no higher.
Volts are the "electromotive force" that is needed to "drive" the electricity through the wiring.
It's highly possible. The difference in amperage might be minuscule but it all depends on the gauge of the wiring, the resistors, and the capacity of the board.
30 amps.
An 18 gauge wire can handle a maximum amperage of approximately 16.5 amps at 12 volts.
It is most likely a faulty gauge, as they are known for having problems. My volts gauge does the same thing.
The minimum cover requirements for direct buried conduits in vehicular areas is governed by the voltage in the conduit. Under 750 volts 600 mm (24 inches), over 750 volts 1000 mm (36 inches).
