Well, we'd need to know voltage, amperage, material used in the wire (copper or aluminum), and the length the wire will extend from the power source.

How much speaker wire will it cake from the head unit to back left door speaker?

Seriously? Have you provided any information about what kind of car you have? What size it is? What possible route you intend to run the wire? Go out and figure it out and measure it yourself.


What size 3 core cable should you use for range cooker?

The total amps required - if every burner is running full on high speed determines the wire size required. So all I can say here is if it is 50 amps max then a 6/3 supply will suffice unless it is a long run from he breaker box to the stove. Elaborate some specs please about the range cooker amperage specifications. (I never heard of a range cooker except in the old cowboy movies.)


How do you wire a run cap for an ac unit?

To wire a run capacitor for an AC unit, first, ensure the power is turned off to the unit. Identify the capacitor terminals, typically labeled "C" (common), "H" (high), and "L" (low). Connect the common wire from the compressor and fan to the "C" terminal, the wire from the compressor to the "H" terminal, and the wire from the fan to the "L" terminal. Finally, secure all connections and restore power to test the unit.


What size wire do you need for 440 three phase welder on an eight foot run?

The wire size depends on the amperage, not the voltage. The fact that the welder runs on 440 volts does not affect the wire size! You need to ask this question instead: What size wire do you need for a three phase welder on an eight foot run if the nameplate amps are 45A?

What size of wire is needed to run a 20 amp 2 pole breaker for a 220 volt window AC unit?

12 guage. The most current that can be sustained in 12 Ga wire is 20 Amps. Almost all 12 Ga wire sold for home use can handle 600 volts, so your 220 v A/C is covered. The voltage rating should appear on the jacket of the wire sheath.


Will 2.5mm wire conduct 240 volts?

You size wire by the current. Various insulations are rated for voltage, temperature and the medium where the wire will be run.


What is the minimum size wire allowed for a parallel run?

The minimum size wire that can be paralleled together stated in the electrical code book is a #3 copper conductor.


What size wire to run to an outside condenser?

The size of wire to run to an outside condenser typically depends on the amperage of the unit and the distance from the power source. For most residential air conditioning systems, 10 to 12-gauge wire is common for units drawing 20 to 30 amps, respectively. Always refer to the manufacturer's specifications and local electrical codes to ensure compliance and safety. Additionally, consider using a larger gauge wire for longer distances to prevent voltage drop.


What information does the sub panel wire size chart provide for determining the appropriate wire size for a sub panel installation?

The sub panel wire size chart provides information on the recommended wire size based on the amperage of the sub panel, the distance the wire needs to run, and the type of wire insulation. This helps determine the appropriate wire size for a sub panel installation to ensure safety and efficiency.


What size conduit and aluminum wire for a 400 foot run on a 120 240 volt system?

The key parameter in sizing wire is the current requirement. Once you know that you can look up value in a wire gauge table. The length of the run is important for longer runs because of the resistance of the wire itself. Aluminum wire requires a larger diameter than copper for the same current. Once you calculate the wire size you can then size the conduit.


What size wire is needed for a 180' run?

The wire size needed for a 180' run depends on the voltage, current, and type of installation. It is recommended to consult the National Electrical Code (NEC) and a professional electrician to determine the appropriate wire size to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.
