How much current at 240 volts passes through a wire with a resistance of 100 ohms?
current = voltage/resistanceAssuming the 240 volts is across the 100 ohm wire, 2.4 amperespower = current * voltageResulting in the wire dissipating 576 watts... One hot wire!
What is the ampere rating of a 8 gauge wire at 240 volts?
5 amps
What size copper wire should you use for 240 volts 200 amps?
3/0 wire 3/0 wire
What gauge wire would I need for 2500 feet for 240 volts and 0.4 amps?
A #14 wire will do the job.
If an electric heater has a red blue and green wire that has been cut off how do i know if its 120 volts or 240 volts?
A label.
How do you wire a wire to a wire?
If you are connecting 120 volts, you connect the black wire to the breaker, white wire to the neutral bar, and ground wire to the ground bar. If you are connecting 240 volts connect the black & white wires to the breaker, & ground wire to the ground bar.
Can a 10-2 wire be connected to a 10-3 recepticle for a dryer?
No, the dryer needs 120 volts supplied by the neutral third wire, along with the 240 volts for the dryer element. One of the two 240 volt supply conductors is used with the neutral to supply 120 volts to the controls and the drum motor. That is why a three wire cable is needed.
