It depends on whether this is residential or commercial.
Commercial has to be 12 guage in conduit.

What size wire needed for 25 amps 220 volts for 75 feet?
10 AWG in copper.
What size wire for 110 volt 20 amp circuit 250 ft?
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.
Are fuses sized on amps and volts?
Fuses are rated in Amps. Although the physical size of a fuse is to do with volts; the further the terminals are apart the less likelihood there is of 'sparkover' between them.
What size wire is needed for 15 amps over a distance of 300 feet?
You would need at least 3 AWG at 120 volts, giving you a 4.8 percent voltage drop at the maximum load of 37.5 amps (using 30 Amps at the ordinary 80 percent rated capacity of the circuit). For 240 volts you would only need 6 AWG.
How many amps does a 2000 watt heater draw at 240 volts?
Amps * Volts = Watts So, Watts / Volts = Amps 2000 / 240 = 8.333 Amps You should run the circuit on a two pole 15 Amp breaker, using 14 AWG, 2 conductor (plus ground) wire, just so you have a little safety factor in the circuit size.
What size wire needed for 25 amps 220 volts for 75 feet?
10 AWG in copper.
What size wire to carry 8 amps at 120 volts?
A # 14 copper conductor will be fine to carry 8 amps at 120 volts. This size conductor is rated at 15 amps.
What size wire for 110 volt 20 amp circuit 250 ft?
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.
What size wire do you need to carry nineteen amps for two hundred feet at two hundred forty volts ac?
10 guage
Need C amps at garage the distance is 150 feet using 220 volts what is correct wire size to use?
Wire is sized by the amperage that it is allowed to legally carry. To answer this question the amperage that you need at the garage must be stated.
How do you solve for the size of wire when the given is kva?
The V stands for volts and A is amps. If for example you have a 12kVA device and are running off a voltage of 120 volts then Amps = 12000/120 = 100. You then use the calculated amps in a wire size table to get the correct size.
What effect are there when resistance is increased in the size of the current?
Current is inversely proportional to resistance. If you double the resistance, you halve the current. Ohm's Law: Volts = Amps * Ohms Solve for Amps: Amps = Volts / Ohms
Are fuses sized on amps and volts?
Fuses are rated in Amps. Although the physical size of a fuse is to do with volts; the further the terminals are apart the less likelihood there is of 'sparkover' between them.
What size wire for 30 amp breaker 240 volts 100 feet?
That distance you are going to have to install a sub-panel and run AWG # 4 wire and even then you will have a voltage drop of 7.45 volts giving you 232.55 volts at the sub-panel which is acceptable.
What size wire is needed for 15 amps over a distance of 300 feet?
You would need at least 3 AWG at 120 volts, giving you a 4.8 percent voltage drop at the maximum load of 37.5 amps (using 30 Amps at the ordinary 80 percent rated capacity of the circuit). For 240 volts you would only need 6 AWG.
What size ground wire needed for 75 amps at 208 volts?
#8 copper
What size generator is needed to run a refrigerator?
Depending on size of Fridge. But AVERAGE is 12 volts for fridge, circuit necessity 15 amps 15 amps X 120 Volts=1800 watts minimum...I'm LEARNING myself
