What size of current does the 1.5mm wire carry?
A 1.5 mm wire is rated at 13 amps at 120 volts.
What size wire do you need to carry nineteen amps for two hundred feet at two hundred forty volts ac?
10 guage
How do you solve for the size of wire when the given is kva?
The V stands for volts and A is amps. If for example you have a 12kVA device and are running off a voltage of 120 volts then Amps = 12000/120 = 100. You then use the calculated amps in a wire size table to get the correct size.
What is the cable size for 90 kw motor?
Depends upon the voltage. The formula for amperage or (wire size) is Watts / Voltage. If the voltage is 220 volts, then the amperage would be over 400 amps. This would require a large wire size to run it. If it were 440 volts, the amperage would be 1/2 or 200 amps. That would require a smaller wire size. As the voltage goes up, the amperage goes down. At a thousand volts, the amperage would only be 90 amps. A wire gauge or size of a #2 would carry 90 amps for small distances.
What size wire for 55kw?
Wire is sized by the amperage that it will carry. 5 kW is 5000 watts. The equation to find watts is W = Amps x Volts. The equation to find amps is Amps = Watts/Volts. As you can see a voltage is needed to calculate the amperage. Once the amperage is stated, the wire size can be given for that particular amperage.
What size wire do you need for 650 watts?
To answer this question a voltage needs to be stated. Wire is sized by the amount of amperage the load takes. W = Amps x Volts. Amps = 650/ volts.
What size ground wire needed for 75 amps at 208 volts?
#8 copper
What size copper wire should you use for 240 volts 200 amps?
3/0 wire 3/0 wire
What wire size to carry 16 amps 100 ft?
14
What is amp size for 16 wire?
10 amps is the maximum it will carry.
How many watts can 16 gauge stranded wire carry?
To answer this question a voltage and amperage must be stated. W = Amps x Volts.
What size copper wire do you need for 240 volts 16 amps at 150ft?
10 gauge
