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

What size wire is needed for carrying 100 amps under ground?
To calculate the wire size, a system voltage is needed.
What size wire is needed for a 180' run?
To answer this question the voltage and load amperage is needed.
Wire size for an electric range?
Wire size is based of the amperage of the device. To answer this question the amperage is needed or the wattage and voltage of the device.
What size ground wire is needed for 20 amp?
A #14 wire will do fine for grounding a 20 amp device. That is the size of the ground wire in a 2 conductor # 12 wire building cable.
