How many amps can 8 gauge wire carry at 120 vac at 25 feet?

8 gauge wire can typically carry up to 40 amps at 120 volts AC over a distance of 25 feet. However, it is important to consult the specific wire manufacturer's specifications and consider other factors such as temperature, installation conditions, and local electrical codes when determining the ampacity of the wire for a particular application.


How many amps can 16 gauge wire carry at 120 vac at 25 feet?

A 16 gauge wire can typically carry around 10-13 amps at 120V AC over a short distance like 25 feet. It's important to follow standard safety practices and consult with an electrician to ensure that the wire gauge is appropriate for your specific application and local electrical code requirements.


What is safe load in watts for 12 gauge copper wire over 50 feet at 120 volts on 20-amp circuit?

The total loaded 20 amp breaker operating on 120 volts will handle 2400 watts before it will trip. This is the maximum and the circuit wiring will probably get warm. De-rate to 80% capacity will bring the wattage down to 2400 x .8 = 1920 watts.


What gauge wire to run 3250 watts 240 volts 60 feet along 40 amp circuit for oven in residence?

There's something wrong here. 3250 watts on 240 volts is only 13.5 amps, not 40. And that would be 12 gauge wire on a 20 amp circuit. But that seems low for an oven. If it truly is a 40 amp appliance then the gauge would be #8 wire. The wiring info that comes with the appliance should tell you everything you need to know.


Will a 10 ga copper wire carry 20 amps at 400 ft?

The resistance for 400 ft. of 10 AWG copper is .4 ohms. This would be a voltage drop of (.4 x 20) or 8 volts. For 120 VAC service this is a 6% which is a bit high. At 240 volts it is 3%. At 8 AWG the resistance is .251 ohms which will give you better performance.

1994 Buick Park AVE Alternator Overcharging dash gage reads over 13 volts?

It is normal for this gauge to read a little over 13 volts.The extra voltage is necessary to "push" the current into the battery to recharge it.My vehicle sometimes reads in access of 14 volts


Why Battery light on and gauge says charging?

your gauge only measures volts. not amps. when alternators get tired sometimes they wont produce enough amps to run the car. your computer might see this where the gauge still says 12-14 volts. basicly your running off the battery. if that doesnt work then check battery for poor cell. last call put tape over the light,lol. good luck

The voltage gauge on my ford truck runs high?

This can be a sign that the voltage regulator is not working properly. First what is high. A normal battery is between 11 volts and 13.8 volts. When the system is charging a reading of 14 to 14.5 volts is not uncommon. With the vehicle off and the switch turned to on you should see the normal battery voltage. Vehicle gauges have been know to be off due to many different things. Over charging a battery can cause it to explode. I would look over the above information and if it is showing that it might be over charging (above 14.5 volts) get it checked and fixed really soon.


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.

How do you determine amperage service for a 240V single-phase three-wire system what formula do i follow?

You have to know the maximum amps you wish to deliver or draw of the device or devices you wish to power. There are charts on the internet for wire gauges and distance that you can follow. For example: A 12 gauge wire will handle 20 amps safely for runs up to 100 feet. You go down 1 gauge for runs over 100 feet. So if you are running 175 feet at 20 amps you should use 10 gauge so voltage drops don't occur. Voltage has no effect on rated current output other than selecting a wire or cable that is rated for the working voltages. 20 amps at 240 volts is the same as 20 amps at 120 volts. As long as the wire is rated at 240 volts, it will carry 20 amps at voltages less than 240 the same.


What size wire to carry 20 amps 100 ft?

To carry 20 amps over a distance of 100 feet, you typically need to use at least 10-gauge wire for copper or 8-gauge wire for aluminum. This accounts for voltage drop and ensures safe operation. Always consider local codes and regulations, and consult a professional electrician if unsure.


Why wont my Honda magna v45 hold its battery charge after riding?

Two possibles. Either the battery needs to be replaced, or the stator is not charging. First check the battery with the engine off, should have 12. 2 volts or more, if under 12 volts, then charge and check again. If under 12 volts, then replace. If over 12 volts, run engine, check the battery volts, should have over 13 volts at idle, rev up, should get over 14 volts. If battery still shows only 12. 2 or so volts, then the stator in the engine has to be replaced.
