There is a big misconception that there are two types of wire for different voltages. It is the insulation factor that governs amount of voltage that can be applied to a conductor. Most conductors have three standard voltage insulations, 300V,600V and 1000V. These are the maximum amount of voltages applied to each insulation. The type of insulation and size of a conductor governs the amount of amperage that can be legally applied to the conductor. To answer your question "yes" you can use 120V and 240V on 300V insulation. The "gauge" of the wire is the wire size measured in AWG. )American Wire Gauge. The code book lays out the amount of amps that are allowed on each size.
Yes, 10-2 wire can carry 220 volts. The 10-2 wire refers to the wire gauge and number of conductors, which is suitable for carrying 220 volts in residential electrical wiring applications. Make sure to follow local electrical codes and consult with a licensed electrician for proper installation.
When you talk about a 220 volt wire and 110 volt wire, the reference is to the insulation factor of the wire. The amount of amperage that the wire has a capacity to carry is independent to the amount of voltage that can be imposed on the wire. When you see wire with ratings of 300 volts, 600 volts and 1000 volts, these are the highest allowable voltages that can be impressed without going over the manufacturers recommendation of allowable voltages. A wire that is rated for 300 volts indicates that the wire is rated for 120 volts or 240 volts or 277 volts. At test research facilities, equipment is tested to destruction. The maximum voltage rating, that is given to the wire as a result of these tests, is the highest safest voltages that can be applied to that particular type of insulation material. So if you hear an electrician say a wire is good for 110 or 220 volts, what is meant is that the same wire can be used for either 110 or 220 volts. To answer the question, you don't need to change a 220 volt wire to a 110 volt wire because it is good for both voltages.
For a 30-amp breaker at 220 volts, you typically need to use 10 AWG (American Wire Gauge) copper wire. If you're using aluminum wire, you should opt for 8 AWG. It's important to ensure that the wire insulation is rated for the appropriate temperature and application, and always adhere to local electrical codes and regulations.
South Korea uses 220 volts electricity, whereas North Korea uses 110 volts.
Yes, lamp cord is rated in the 300 volt wire classification. This means that the cord is approved for use up to a maximum of 300 volts.
Use AWG # 3 copper.

the meaning of 210 volt wire is that it can withstand under 210 voltage conditions.the physical properties or condition of the wire is such that it can withstand 210 voltage.we use it upto 210 volts.
220 volt single phase from 480 volt 3 phase that one wire taken one phase and second wire connected in earth point. we get 220 v The above answer is incorrect, one phase from a three phase 480 volt system will give you 277 volts to ground. You must use a transformer to get the voltage you need.
When flexible cords are talked about the ground wire is in the conductor count. A four wire cord will have black, red, white, and green coloured wires in the flexible cable set. A three wire cord will have a black, white and green coloured wires in the cable set. To use a four wire cord to carry 220 volts just use the black, red and green wires. Connect to the cord ends. Black and red to the outside blade terminal screws and the green wire to the green ground screw. To use a three wire cord to carry 220 volts just use all of the wires. Black and white to the outside blade terminal screws and the green wire to the green ground screw.
South Korea uses 220 volts electricity, whereas North Korea uses 110 volts.
China uses 220 Volts AC for household electricity
Yes, lamp cord is rated in the 300 volt wire classification. This means that the cord is approved for use up to a maximum of 300 volts.
No. It uses 220 volts.
The formula you are looking for is I = W/E. Amps = Watts/Volts.
