If you are in the US, and in a residential application, you are probably using Romex type cable (NM, or NMC). That type of cable is restricted to the 60 degree column for ampacity calculations and would require a #6 copper wire for a 50A application. At that size, a 50' length will probably not impact the voltage drop.
For a 50 amp circuit at 220 volts running for a distance of 50 feet, you would typically need a 6-gauge wire. This wire size can handle the current without significant voltage drop over that distance. It is always recommended to consult with a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with local electrical codes.

What gauge wire for a 220 volt 60 amp underground in conduit at 100 feet?
Might depend on your local codes, but here it is 6 AWG wire. <<>> A #4 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 2% or less when supplying 60 amps for 100 feet on a 230 volt system.
How do you wire 220 volt 200 amp diagram?
With thick wires that have excellent insulation.
What size of wire is needed to run a 20 amp 2 pole breaker for a 220 volt window AC unit?
For a 20 amp 2 pole breaker at 220 volts, you'd need a 12-gauge wire for a maximum run of 100 feet. If the run is longer than 100 feet, consider using a thicker 10-gauge wire to account for voltage drop. This wire size ensures safe and efficient operation for your window AC unit.
What gauge wire to run 40 amp 220 volt circuit 60 feet in residence?
For a 40 amp 220 volt circuit run 60 feet in a residence, it is recommended to use a #8 AWG copper wire for the wiring. This will ensure that you have a safe and efficient electrical connection for your circuit.
Can you use a neutral wire from a existing 110 volt 20 amp circuit to supply a neutral for a washer dryer combo that has only a 220 volt 30 amp 2 wire?
No !
Is a 220 volt electrical power wire the same as a 240 volt electrical power wire?
Yes 220 & 240 are considered the same.
Can 14 gauge wire carry 220 volt?
Wire guage is used as a measurement for the ampacity of the wire. # 14 wire is allowed 15 amp to be applied to it. Voltage is governed by the insulation factor of the wire. The three standard insulations are for 300V, 600V and 1000 volts.
What wire color is ground on a 4 wire 220 volt cord The I know the green is and what red black or white?
Depending on the configuration of the cord cap, the green wire is ground, the white wire is the neutral and red and black wires are the 220 volt source.
What gauge wire for a 220 volt 60 amp underground in conduit at 100 feet?
Might depend on your local codes, but here it is 6 AWG wire. <<>> A #4 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 2% or less when supplying 60 amps for 100 feet on a 230 volt system.
What size wire for an 80 amp 220 volt circuit?
