To answer this question an amperage has to be supplied. Wire size is based on the capacity of amperage it can legally conduct. This regulation is laid out in the electrical code book. To get installations passed by the electrical inspector these rules have to be followed.

What does AWG mean?
American Wire Guage. The smaller the number the larger the wire. As in an AWG 14/2 wire is much smaller than an AWG 10/2 wire.
What size cable is required for 220 v with twin 30 amp breakers?
#10 wire is used on a 30 amp service.
What size wire would you use to wire a motor that draws 16 amps from a circuit?
AWG Wire Ampacity Gage (Amperes) 16 10 A 14 15 A 12 20 A 10 30 A 8 45 A 6 65 A 4 85 A 2 115 A 1 130 A 0 150 A So if anything its probably 12-14 gauge wire Yw
How many amps will 10-2 wire carry at 40 feett?
30 amps is how much a 10-2 wire will carry at 110 feet. 10 gauge wire is only good for thirty amps per the national electrical code. Using 80% of the breakers usage you will actually be getting only 24 amps.
What the difference between 10-2 wire and 10-3?
The first number indicates the size of the wires, in this case #10 AWG (American Wire Gauge). The last number refers to the quantity of conductors, excluding the ground wire, if any. 10-2 wire would have two conductors, typically a black used for the hot, and a white used for the neutral. If the label says "10-2 with ground" then the cable would also contain a bare or green insulated ground wire. 10-3 wire contains all the above plus one more wire, typically red, used for an additional hot.
How much torque is required to pop a party popper with a DC motor?
Party poppers are normally popped with a force applied by a finger. The force required is maybe 10 Newtons.
What size wire is required for 120v 5amp 250ft?
Use AWG #10 wire on a 20 amp breaker.
When is a 30 amp circuit required?
When the wire you are protecting is a #10, rated at 30 amps.
How much wire is needed to build a cardboard generator?
10 meters of wire
If 18 ft 10 in is cut from wire that is 25 ft 8 in how much wire is left?
6' 10"
Can you use 10-2 wire for 50amps?
No you need at least a #6. Depending if it is a motor load it may even be higher that a #6. #10 wire is only reated at 30 amps. #8 wire is rated at 40 amps.
Can a 1998 Chevy S-10 motor fit into a 1997 Chevy S-10 body?
yes eveything will bolt and wire up
What kind of motor oil is required in a suzuki eiger 400?
10-w40 non synthetic
How many motor ports vex?
on an old vex brain there are 8 but you can use y cables to use more than 8 motors on a new cortex brain there are 10 motor ports 8 3 wire and 2 2 wire
What size breaker should be used on a 20 amp motor?
30 amp breaker with #10 gauge copper wire
Can you use ten gauge wire on a compressor rated at thirty three amps?
Assuming that the motor is single phase 3 HP operating on 120 volts. A couple of things come into play on this installation. One it is a motor load. Code states that motor loads have to have feeders rated at 125% of the motors full load amps (FLA). The other condition is breaker sizing. With a motor amperage of 33 amps and using a feeder of 125% means 33 x 125% or 1.25 = 41.25 amps for wire sizing. A #10 copper wire with an insulation rating of 60, 75, or 90 degrees C is rated at 30 amps, this does not fall within the required wire size. A #8 copper wire with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 45 amps, this falls within the required wire size. Breaker sizing is taken from the motors FLA. For a motor with 34 amps full load, a 110 amp non time delay fuse, 60 amp time delay "D" fuse or a 70 amp breaker is required to meet code regulations. The reason for over sizing the breaker or fuses is to overcome the motor high current, which can rise to 300% of the motor's FLA, on start up.
What gauge wire is required for 25 amps over 100 ft at 240 volts?
10 AWG copper.
