The number of wires in a 220-volt electrical system typically depends on the specific configuration and application. In residential wiring, a standard system may use three wires: two hot wires (each carrying 110 volts) and one ground wire. In some cases, a neutral wire may also be included, resulting in four wires total. Always consult local electrical codes and a qualified electrician for accurate wiring configurations.
