What else can I help you with?
How can you connect a system working with 60Hz 1 Hot wire 1 neutral wire and a ground wire to my utility system that works with 60Hz two hot wires and a neutral wire?
Your 2-wire system is actually connected to one "side" of the 3-wire system. In your utility's 3-wire system you have 2 hot wires that are attached to each end of a tranformer winding and the neutral is attached in the middle and grounded. Typically in the US this gives you 240v (or something similar) between hot leads and 120v from each hot lead to neutral or ground.
How many amps extension lead would you need to run a 60Hz pump?
This can not be answered with the information you have given. 60Hz does not relate the the current draw so wire size can not be calculated.
Why don't you need a white wire when wiring a 240v a c unit?
White wire is usually used as a neutral conductor and a 240v ac unit has no neutral. Each leg of the 240 volts is a "hot" leg However, very often a 12/2 or 14/2 NM cable is used to power small window ac units using 240v. In this case one of the conductors is white, but is not a neutral. It is good practice to mark the white wire with black tape so it is readily identified as a hot wire.
What size wire for 75 feet of wire for a 30 amp 220 volt oven?
A 30 amp breaker run 75 feet would require you use AWG #10 wire. But, an oven normally pulls more that 30 amps and I would not use #10 wire on a 30 amp breaker for an oven. Normally any newer oven is wired with AWG #6 gauge wire on a 50 amp circuit breaker so the breaker will not trip during heavy use of the oven. Some older ovens could use a #8 wire on a 40 amp breaker.
Can I run a double 30 amp breaker with 10-3 wire to receptacle for 240v MIG welder. Distance from main box to destination is 60 feet.?
Yes.
How do you connect a 230volt 60Hz air conditioning unit with one phase wire to a 240 volt 60Hz two phase south American supply?
Treat the USA 2 Phases as 1, its called split phase, instead of Line and Neutral, you ahve two phases but they deliver 240v, this will not hurt a 230v machine as the chances are that you are NOT getting 240v supply at the delivery point anyway. As long as the machine si 60Hz and supply 60Hz, you will not have a problem
I am gettng a new kitchen installed and the convection microwave is rated at 240v 15.5 Amps The electrician has run 12 3 wire for this application is this correct?
YES,,,,,12/3 wire is rated for 20 amps and your new oven is only drawing 15.5 Semper-Fi Devil-Dog
How do you add 240v service for electric oven to replace a gas oven?
An electric oven must be on a dedicated circuit. Unless you already have a 220 Volt circuit available, you will have to run a wire from the fuse panel to the stove. Call a licensed electrician.
What is the recommended wire size for a 240v electrical circuit?
The recommended wire size for a 240V electrical circuit is typically 10-gauge wire.

Can you use one wire from the panel with 240v on it to wire a 240v water heater?
In North America it takes two "hot" wires to obtain 240 volts.
