generally size #6, but there can be factors which would require
up-sizing, such as high ambient temperature
long run causing excessive voltage drop
multiple circuits in same raceway

For a 50 amp circuit at 230 volts, you would typically use a 6-gauge wire. This size wire is rated to safely handle the current and voltage of the circuit without overheating. It's important to consult local electrical codes and regulations before proceeding with any wiring work.

∙ 12y agoI would use 0/2 guage wire as it is about 1.4"2

There is no such wire size as 0/2 AWG.
A #6 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 65 amps. The wire's voltage rating is 600 volts on most specified wire so the voltage of 220 volts is well within the limits of the wire.

What size wire for a 230 volt circuit?
The size of the wire is set by the maximum current it has to carry. The voltage sets the size of the insulation. In the UK a 230 v (nominal) ring-circuit supplying a set of power sockets is rated at 30 amps and uses a ring of 2.5 sq-mm cable.
How do you wire a 230 volt contactor with a 110 volt coil?
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.
How can I get 230 volt single pole wire from my house panel?
In North America you can not obtain 230 volts from just one single pole breaker. The distribution is like this, from a one pole breaker to neutral is 120 volts. From an adjacent breaker to neutral is 120 volts. From the adjacent breaker to adjacent breaker (breakers situated beside each other) the voltage will be 230 volts.If you want to incorporate a 120 to 230 volt transformer into the circuit you can obtain 230 volts. The primary side of the transformer will be connected to the 120 volt circuit and the secondary side of the transformer will output 230 volts. The transformer must be sized to the load amperage or the load wattage of the connected 230 volt load.
Is 220 amp connected for 230 volt?
Yes, a 220 amp circuit is suitable for use with a 230-volt power source. The slight difference in voltage should not significantly impact the performance of the circuit.
How to wire a 230 volt outlet?
To wire a 230 volt outlet, first turn off power to the circuit. Connect the red and black wires to the brass screws on the outlet, the white wire to the silver screw, and the green or bare wire to the green screw. Make sure to follow all local electrical codes and consult a licensed electrician if needed.
What size wire do you need to run 100 ft 75 amp 230 volt?
Depends on the size of the circuit which you did not list.

Can you use a 6 volt relay to 230 volt circuit?
If you are talking about a 6 volt coil, yes, so long as the contacts are rated for the 230 volt circuit. If you are talking about 6 volt contacts, no, absolutely not.
How many amount of current flow in spark use 230 volt single phase supply?
It is limited by the size of the fuse in the circuit.
Why won't a 230-460 volt motor work on a 120-208 volt circuit?
Because its designed to operate at 230-460, not 120-208.
What is the required wire size for a 230 feet run 480 volt 100 amp?
Depends on length. The more length, the more resistance.

How many amp circuit breaker for 3 hp 230 volt motor?
16A
Can a 440 volt capacitor be used for a 230 volt application?
No. The capacitor will short out and possibly explode. On the other hand, the 440 Volt Cap can be used in a 220 Volt circuit.
How do you connect 230 Volt single phase to a 440 circuit panel?
You can't get 230 from a 440 panel. You'll need a step down trandormer
What is the induced voltage on a deenergized ungrounded circuit 60 feet from a 230000 volt circuit?
This question has not enough information for an answer. Is the 230 kV line overhead or underground? The voltage induced in a passive wire also depends on the amount of current in the high-power line.
How to wire a 230 volt outlet?
To wire a 230 volt outlet, first turn off power to the circuit. Connect the red and black wires to the brass screws on the outlet, the white wire to the silver screw, and the green or bare wire to the green screw. Make sure to follow all local electrical codes and consult a licensed electrician if needed.
