How do you determine the size of electrical conductors?

by the size of the load they are connected to. a general lighting circuit in a home should be 500 sq feet. an appliance will have it's connected load on the name plate. all electrical components [ plugs, cord, wire, anything electricity flows through] must be DERATED 20 %. if your load is 30 amp 240, add 6 amp[20%]to the 30, for 36amp. the closest wire size is #8.
