What is wire standard 60hz 220v ac cable?
many wires are. such as 14-2 Romex. 12-2 Romex. Any THHN wire of any size. This list is very long. If you have a speific application then you need to check the NEC 2005 Table 310.13 Conductor Applications and Insulations.
What size romex for 5000 watt dryer?
Assuming 220 volts service 5000/220 = 22.72 Amps. That equates to 10 AWG Romex.
Is THHN oil resistant?
No, THHN is not oil resistant. The Underwriters Laboratories' (UL) "Marking Guide Wire and Cable (January 2010)" shows that THHN is not sunlight, oil, or gasoline resistant; it can not be used in cable trays, direct burial, or for submersible pumps. THHN is a heat-resistant thermoplastic rated for 90 degrees C (140 degrees F), can be used in dry and damp locations. See related links below for the UL Marking Guide.

What is the difference between romex 14 2 14 3?
In romex, 14-2 means two conductors, 14AWG each, and 14-3 means three conductors, 14AWG each. Note: Normally, romex has a ground, so the designation is more likely to be 14-2/G or 14-3/G.
