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

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.


What size wire is needed for a 230 volt ac?

The size of wire needed for a 230-volt AC circuit depends on the current load and the distance from the power source. Typically, for residential applications, a 12-gauge wire is suitable for up to 20 amps, while a 10-gauge wire is used for loads up to 30 amps. It's essential to consult the National Electrical Code (NEC) and consider factors like ambient temperature and installation conditions to ensure safety and compliance. Always consult a licensed electrician for specific installations.


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.

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.

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.
