∙ 12y agoWould probably go with 10 gauge since 12 would do normally, a 275' length is a long run. Voltage drop would be a concern, especially if the load of the device had a high start up demand. Air conditioner, refrigeration unit, air compressor, etc.

To answer this question correctly a voltage must be given, since sizing the wire is all about voltage drop over a distance.

∙ 12y agoFor a 20 amp circuit at 275 feet, you should use at least a 10 gauge copper wire to minimize voltage drop and ensure safety. This size wire will help maintain the proper voltage levels over the distance. Be sure to consult your local electrical code and a qualified electrician for specific requirements and installation guidelines.
Exterior electrical service wires should be at least 10 feet away from swimming pools to prevent any potential hazard.
Windows that can be opened.
No, for a 50-foot run from the breaker box, 10-3 wire is not heavy enough for a washer-dryer combination. It is recommended to use 8-3 wire for this distance to ensure safe and efficient electrical supply for the appliances.
Exterior electrical wires should be a minimum of 3 feet away from windows to prevent potential hazards like accidental contact, electrical shock, and interference with window operations. It is also recommended to consult local building codes for specific guidelines regarding wire placement near windows.
In California, the National Electrical Code (NEC) typically requires a minimum of 6 feet and 7 feet clearance in front of and above electrical panels, respectively, for safety and accessibility. However, local regulations and building codes may have specific requirements that vary. It is best to consult with a licensed electrician or the local building department for precise guidelines in your area.
It has to be at least eighty feet away Not it has to be fifteen
Exterior electrical service wires should be at least 10 feet away from swimming pools to prevent any potential hazard.
Windows that can be opened.
No, a meteorite impact would not produce an electrical charge large enough to affect a car's electrical system 1000 feet away. The amount of energy released upon impact would likely be insufficient to cause such interference at such a distance.
No, for a 50-foot run from the breaker box, 10-3 wire is not heavy enough for a washer-dryer combination. It is recommended to use 8-3 wire for this distance to ensure safe and efficient electrical supply for the appliances.
10 feet away unless it terminates 2 feet above the top of such an opening
Are you asking about home electrical service? sevrice entrance cables need to be three feet away from a window
It is usually expressed the other way around. The electrical disconnect has to be within 20 feet and line of sight of the equipment you are working on.
To be carried away on a tide of emotion. No rational thinking required.
The loss of voltage over a distance depends on factors such as wire gauge, current flowing, and resistance. For a 200-amp service at 400 feet and then branching off another 30 feet to a separate 100-amp service, there could be a noticeable voltage drop. It is recommended to consult with a licensed electrician to calculate the exact voltage drop and determine if any voltage compensation measures are needed.
Exterior electrical wires should be a minimum of 3 feet away from windows to prevent potential hazards like accidental contact, electrical shock, and interference with window operations. It is also recommended to consult local building codes for specific guidelines regarding wire placement near windows.
You will need a 40 amp breaker using AWG # 8 wire running it a distance of no more than 50 feet.
