What size wire for 110 volt 20 amp circuit 700ft?
I would recommend no smaller than #8awg copper. This is derived by 8awg copper ampacity of 40 amps multiplied by 80% load rating to get 32 amps. Then calculating for voltage drop over this distance shows a drop of 5.9 volts or 2.5% which is negligible so not accounted for. So like i said no smaller than #8awg copper.
Should a 2 AWG copper wire be used to feed a 125 amp sub panel located 125 feet from main panel?
No, the conductor is too small. The feeder to a 120/240 volt sub panel should be a 1/0 copper or a 2/0 aluminium conductor. This size conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 125 amps for 125 feet on a 240 volt system. ACWU 90 (Armoured Cable Wet location Underground 90 degree C). ACWU 90 cable is code approved for direct burial and is used in many projects as an underground service distribution feeder. Aluminium is much cheaper than copper for this type of installation.
Can you ever use a butt splice connector with 120 volt ac?
Butt splice connectors are generally not recommended for use with 120 volt AC electrical connections due to safety concerns. It is safer and more appropriate to use wire nuts or other approved connectors that are specifically designed for use with line voltage connections. Using the proper connectors will help ensure a secure and safe electrical connection.
What is the maximum length allowed on a 20 amp rated branch circuit if is a120 volt single phase?
A maximum distance of 52 feet will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less with a #12 copper conductor delivering 20 amps on a 120 volt system.
What size wire needed for 200 amp service 400 feet away direct buried single phase 240 volt 3 wire?
Assuming you are working with 240v, you need 4/0 copper conductors.
What re size for a 220 volt 100 amp panel distance d 100 feet?
A #1 copper or 1/0 aluminium conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 100 amps for 100 feet on a 240 volt a single phase system.
What size copper wire for a run of 500 feet in parallel for a resident with a load of 600 amps single phase 240 volt?
This is a voltage drop question. A 500 MCM copper or 750 MCM aluminium conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 300 amps for 500 feet on a 240 volt system. Paralleling these conductors will allow the rating to be increased to 600 amps.
What size wire should I use for a 120v 30amp 150 foot long run?
A #4 copper or #3 aluminium conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 30 amps for 150 feet on a 120 volt system.
What size wire would you use for a new 200 amp direct burial service?
This is a voltage drop question. A 300 MCM copper or a 500 MCM aluminium conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 200 amps for 450 feet on a 240 volt system. The cheapest of the two conductors would be the aluminium conductor. For direct burial is will have a ACWU 90 designation.

Can you jump a 24 volt system with a 12 volt system?
No

What wire size 240 volt 21 amps 150 foot run?
A #10 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 21 amps for 150 feet on a 240 volt system.
What gauge underground wire for 110 volt 15 amp 700 ft for a pond pump?
A #1 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% when supplying 15 amps for 700 feet on a 120 volt system.
Is a Packard 400 a 8 volt electrical system?
No. Is a 6 volt system.
Can you run 480 volt motors in a 380 volt system?
Can I run 480 volt , 60 HZ motor at a 380 volt , 60 Hz system?
