#10 wire is good for 30amps; however it is wise and sometimes required to use an 80% load factor. If you need 30amps continuously you would want to use #8 wire, which is good for 40amps. #8 wire could safely run 32amps continuously, 40amps x 80% = 32amps.

What size wire is needed for a 180' run?
To answer this question the voltage and load amperage is needed.
What wire size is needed for 30amp load for 34 feet on 12 volts DC?
8 gauge will be sufficient with less than a half volt drop
What wire size needed for 120 volt 3000 watt load?
AWG # 10 wire on 30 amp circuit.
What gage wire do you use for 15 amps 200 feet?
This is a voltage drop question. To answer this question a voltage has to be stated. The higher the voltage to the circuit becomes the smaller the wire size needed. After a certain voltage point the wire size will remain constant and the voltage drop at the load will become smaller.
What cable wire size for 1000 watts aircondition?
The only way to determine the cable wire size needed for a 1000 watt air conditioner is to find the load size. To get the load size you will need to use the formula Amps = Watts or Volts. With that being said, you will need a number 14 copper wire.

What size wire is needed to operate a three quarter horsepower opener 250 ft from the breaker?
Wire size is calculated from the amount of current the load draws. More information is needed. Voltage and amperage will do fine.
What size wire do you need for a 208 volt 3 phase load that draws 10.5 amps?
The size of conductor needed will be a #14. It should be copper and have an insulation factor of 90 degrees C. The fact that it is a three phase load does not enter into the calculation of the wire size.
What cable wire size for 1000 watts aircondition?
The only way to determine the cable wire size needed for a 1000 watt air conditioner is to find the load size. To get the load size you will need to use the formula Amps = Watts or Volts. With that being said, you will need a number 14 copper wire.
What is the type and size of cable gland or 2 core cable?
To answer this question the size of the cable or the amperage of the load is needed to calculate the correct wire size and connectors to fit the cable.
What size wire needed for 25 amps 220 volts for 75 feet?
10 AWG in copper.
What wire size for world's simplest motor?
Wire size is based on the amperage of the load. Without knowing what the motors's full load amperage is, an answer can not be given.
How to compute the size of wire with respect to the distance from circuit breaker to the load side?
Normally wire is sized by the amperage of the load. In this case the wire size is calculated by knowing the length of the run to the load and the amperage of the device to be connected. By knowing the length, the wire size has to be increased to allow for voltage drop over the distance from the supply to the load.
Should you Run a 20amp circuit 150 feet with?
If this question is asking about voltage drop, to size a wire, a voltage is needed.
