A 2/0 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 185 amps.
A motor feeder by code has to be 125% greater than the motors full load amperage. Therefore 175 x 125% = 218 amps.
A 4/0 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 235
amps.

What size wire would be required for indoor fan motor with 6 amps?
For a motor drawing 6 amps, a minimum wire size of 18 AWG (American Wire Gauge) is typically sufficient for short runs. However, for longer distances or to ensure safety and reduce voltage drop, it's advisable to use 16 AWG wire. Always consult local electrical codes and regulations to ensure compliance with safety standards in your area.
