At 120 Volts you would draw about 42 amps. At 240 Volts it would be about 21 amps. For 120 Volts you would need 6 AWG and for 240 Volts you would need 10 AWG.
10
ten gauge wire is used for high current circuits. in home wiring, 12 gauge wire is normally used. 12 gauge wire can carry a maximum of 20 amps. 10 gauge wire on the other hand, is larger and can carry more current. the maximum current capacity of a 10 gauge wire is around 30 amps. one would use this for a stove, hvac or other power hungry device's.
For a baseboard heater that is 1000 watts and operates at 240 volts with a current draw of 4.2 amps, you would need to use 12-gauge wire. This gauge of wire is rated for up to 20 amps, providing a safe and sufficient electrical connection for your heater.
Wire is not sized by voltage. It is sized by current measured in amps. Some common copper wire sizes and their current capacities are: 15 amps -- 14 gauge wire 20 amps -- 12 gauge wire 30 amps -- 10 gauge wire 40 amps -- 8 gauge wire
30 amps.
10 gauge
AWG # 10.
10 AWG copper.
At 120 Volts you would draw about 42 amps. At 240 Volts it would be about 21 amps. For 120 Volts you would need 6 AWG and for 240 Volts you would need 10 AWG.
10 mm2 cross section should be sufficient (#6 wire?)
10 guage
10 gauge wire will only run up to 30 amps
Typically 30 amps.
