At a minimum you would need to run 5 parallel sets of 1000 Kcmil/mcm 90c rated copper wire. This is not calculating for other factors such as ambient temp., volt drop, or conduit fill.

To answer this question the voltage is needed. I = W/E. Sizing of wire is based on the amount of amperage that is applied to the conductor.

What is the fuse size for a 200 watt McKinley amp?

The Full load current of that amp is approx. 17A, but you base you fuse size between the Full load current of your load and the current carrying capacity of the supply cable, if the size or the CCC of the cable is unknown, I would recommend sticking as close to the FLC as possible


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.

How long can a 3000 watt generator power a TV?

A 3000 watt generator can run from 8 to 20 hours on a single tank of fuel, depending on how heavy the load is. This type of generator employs an Eco system where if the load is shut off, the generator slows down to an idle state and stays there until the load is sensed again. On re sensing the load the generator speeds up to its rated output. Since a TV is on the very light end of the load, the generator should remain operating on the top end of the hours scale.


What size hot wire do you need for a 1900 watt amp?

A 12 gauge wire can support a load of approximately 2200 watts.


How many decibels are there between 1 watt and 3000 watt?

Can a 1 hp electric motor run a 3000 watt alternator?

Usual configuration, it is an engine that is used to turn a generator not a motor. If you mean it the other way around, will a 3000 watt generator have enough output to operate a 1 HP motor. 1 HP is equal to 746 watts. Keep in mind when a motor start it can take up to 300% of its full load amperage.

What size wire do i need to feed a single phase V primary and a V secondary fed from a 150 amp circuit breaker?

Information is incomplete. You need to know the load in Watt or Kilowatt and the voltage on the secondary side to determine the load current, on which the size of the wire is designed.
