The ground wire in a two or three conductor #12 cable is a #14 bare ground wire.
No current bro? Depends
Yes, GFCI devices are available for use on 240-volt, 480-volt, and 600-volt circuits. They come in different voltage ratings to suit various electrical systems and provide protection against electric shocks by quickly shutting off power if a ground fault is detected. It's important to ensure the GFCI device is rated for the specific voltage of the circuit it will be used on.
A 240-volt circuit typically consists of two hot wires and a ground wire, with no neutral wire. The hot wires each carry 120 volts, while the ground wire is used for safety purposes. In a 240-volt circuit, the hot wires complete a loop by connecting to a load or device that requires the higher voltage to operate.
In a 277-volt circuit, if you measure the voltage from Phase 1 to ground, you should read approximately 277 volts. This is because 277 volts is typically the line-to-ground voltage in a three-phase system where the phase voltage is 480 volts. Therefore, when measuring from the phase conductor to ground, the voltage remains the same at 277 volts.
Any ground wire has to be connected to an independent ground wire that returns directly to the distribution panel and not to the neutral of the circuit.
The recommended wire size for a 220 volt circuit according to the 220 volt wire size chart is typically 10 gauge wire for a circuit with a maximum of 30 amps.
The recommended wire size for a 220-volt electrical circuit is typically 10-gauge wire.
The recommended wire size for a 30 amp 220 volt circuit is typically 10 gauge wire.
For a 30 amp 240 volt circuit, a wire size of 10 AWG should be used.
The appropriate wire size for a 220 volt 30 amp circuit is typically 10 gauge wire.
No current bro? Depends
For a 220 volt circuit with a 30 amp capacity, the appropriate wire size would be 10 gauge wire.
For a 240-volt circuit that requires a 50 amp breaker, the appropriate size of the breaker needed is 50 amps.
For a 240 volt 40 amp circuit, the appropriate wire size is typically 8 AWG (American Wire Gauge) for copper conductors.
For a 40 amp 240 volt circuit, a wire size of at least 8 AWG (American Wire Gauge) should be used to ensure safety and proper functioning of the circuit.

yes <<>> No, the ground wire is never to be used as a neutral. In this case if you need a 120 volt circuit from the 220 volt circuit a three wire cable (3C #14) must be installed.
