To wire a 230 volt contactor with a 110 volt coil, you need to connect the 110 volt power supply to one terminal of the coil and the neutral wire to the other terminal of the coil. Ensure that the contactor is rated for use with a 110 volt control circuit. Additionally, verify the wiring diagram provided with the contactor for proper connection details.
The ground wire in a two or three conductor #12 cable is a #14 bare ground wire.
A #4 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 20 amps for a distance of 250 feet at 120 volts.
For a 200 ft distance, you should use at least a 8 gauge wire to minimize voltage drop and ensure safe operation for a 30 amp, 110 volt circuit. It is important to consult a licensed electrician to determine the specific wire size needed based on the load and local electrical code requirements.

A breaker is based on wire size, as the breaker protects the wire and not the load. This is a voltage drop question. A #3 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 60 amps for 110 feet on a 110 volt system.

If it is a 110 volt light it can safely run on a 20 amp circuit with AWG # 12 wire.
Because of voltage drop, 4 awg copper would be recommended for that distance run. <<>> A #1 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 50 amps for 200 feet on a 110 volt system.
A #1 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% when supplying 15 amps for 700 feet on a 120 volt system.
For a 200 ft distance, you should use at least a 8 gauge wire to minimize voltage drop and ensure safe operation for a 30 amp, 110 volt circuit. It is important to consult a licensed electrician to determine the specific wire size needed based on the load and local electrical code requirements.

Presuming that you would like the least expensive installation, the following is calculated on overhead aluminum wire. The wire size needed to hold the voltage drop to 3% would be 3/0 MCM. If the installation could be run on 240 volts then the wire size can be reduced to #2.
In a 110-volt circuit, the black wire is typically the "hot" wire, which carries the electrical current from the power source to the load. The white wire serves as the neutral wire, providing a return path for the current. It's important to ensure proper connections and follow safety protocols when working with electrical circuits.
110 feet x 110 feet = 12,100 square feet (this, incidentally, is a very large room).
