Yes you can. In fact you can use #10 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C because it is protected by a 30 amp rated breaker. A #8 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 40 amps. The only time you need to go to a larger size conductor is when you have to overcome voltage drop on longer runs.
In North America the most common electricity outlet is 15 amp.
200 amp service is the rating of electrical power available to your home. Older homes only had 60 amp service. Newer homes were updated to 100 or 150 amp service. The standard for most US homes today is 200 amp. You can find out what your service is by looking at the top breaker in your electrical box, it should be stamped on that.
In North America this size breaker could be used on a welding machine. A range in the home would use a 40 amp two pole breaker.
A #1 copper wire with an insulation rating of 90 degrees C is rated at 140 amps.
A 350 amp service is not a standard service distribution. It jumps from a 200 to a 400 amp rated distribution equipment. The only way to obtain a 350 size service is to install 400 amp equipment and fuse it at 350 amps. The standard size home distributions in North America today are rated at 200 amps. The cost of the service differs through out the continent. Ask your local electrical contractor for an estimate on an electrical upgrade to the required service that you want.
Yes, the wire size has to be increased. The existing 100 amp service will now probably have a #3 conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C which is rated for 100 and 105 amps respectively. Increasing to a 150 amp service will use a #1/0 wire size. If you are thinking of an upgrade, skip the 150 amp service and go to a 200 amp panel. New homes are installing 200 amp 42 circuit panels. The extra cost is only reflected in the materials as the labour costs will be the same regardless whether a 150 amp or a 200 amp panel is installed. The wire size for a 200 amp panel is #3/0. With an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C the rating is 200 or 210 amps respectively.

A #8 aluminium wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 45 amps.
Yes you can. In fact you can use #10 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C because it is protected by a 30 amp rated breaker. A #8 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 40 amps. The only time you need to go to a larger size conductor is when you have to overcome voltage drop on longer runs.
In North America you would need two 15 amp breakers to obtain 240 volts. The wire for a 15 amp circuit would be #14 AWG. So to answer the question, yes a 240 volt receptacle can go on a 15 amp circuit.
In North America the most common electricity outlet is 15 amp.
20 amp In North America code states a two pole 15 amp breaker will do the job.
I've never heard of a 16 amp fuse. -I guess it depends where you are. In north America, 15, 20 and 30 amp fuses are common, 40 are also used less commonly. A typical north American water heater uses 2 x 30 amp fuses or breakers. Please write in with detail of WHERE you are in questions like this.
60 Hz in North America, 50 Hz in Europe.
A #12 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 20 amps. A #14 conductor can not be connected to a 20 amp breaker as that conductor is only rated at 15 amps.
A 750 MCM copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 500 amps.
