7200 VA at 208 volts is 35 amperes. You can cover that with AWG8 wire, which is rated 40 amperes. However, 40 amperes does not give you the required 25% margin specified in the NEC so you have to go to the next larger wire size, AWG6, which is rated 50 amperes.
You can use a 40 ampere circuit breaker, but you mustuse 50 ampere rated conductors in the branch wiring.

Can you use 300v cable for 240v?
You most certianly can. Voltage ratings on wires are 300V,600V and 1000V. These are the maximum voltages. 120 - 240 on 300V, 480 - 575 on 600V, 1000V wire is a special order used for specialized equipment.
Can 12-2 600v wire handle 20 amps?
Yes, a 12-2 600v wire can handle 20 amps. This type of wire is typically rated for 20 amps in residential electrical systems, making it suitable for that current load. However, it's essential to follow local electrical codes and guidelines to ensure proper installation and safety.
What size wire would you use for a 70KW 240 vac single phase generator?
To calculate the wire size you would have to find the amperage. I = W/E, 70000/240 = 291.67 amps. The wire size according to code has to be up sized to 125%. 291.67 x 125% = 364.6. 500MCM copper wire with an insulation factor of 75 and 90 degrees C is rated at 380 and 395 amps respectively. If parallel conductors were used the wire size for 75 degree wire would be 3/0 rated at 200 amps. Parallel conductors for 90 degree wire would be 2/0 rated at 185 amps.
120 volts 1 phase 30 amps load what wire size?
For a 30 amp load on a 120 volt 1-phase system, you should use at least a 10-gauge copper wire to ensure safety and efficiency. Additionally, it is always recommended to consult with a licensed electrician to determine the exact wire size needed for your specific application.
What size wire for 225 amp 208 volt 3 phase circuit y.?
For a 225 amp 208 volt 3 phase circuit, you would typically need to use a 3/0 AWG copper wire or a 250 kcmil aluminum wire. Be sure to consult with local electrical codes and regulations to ensure compliance with specific requirements for your installation.
Can 600v wire works 30 amp fuse?
What size is the wire? AWG 10, 600V is rated for 30 amps. Any AWG less than 6 would also be ok for a 30 amp circuit....
Can aluminum 600v wire work a 40 amp breaker?
Wire size is rated by Amperes of current. You did not mention the wire size of the aluminum wire, so there is no way to answer your question. The voltage rating is more a rating of how good the insulation around the wire is.
What should be the minimum insulation value of a 20 kw 415v phase motor?
415V commonly available wire is 300V or 600V so that would need to be 600V wire to use a megger or a hipot tester (2* operating voltage +1000V) 2000 volt megger or hipot should verify the wiring in this instance 2500v megger will be necessary for 600V wire and wiring devices you also must look and ambient temperature and humidity a test after some operation time can verify this
What wire size for 100 amp single phase 3 wire commercial service?
2 copper
What size wire do you need for 440 three phase welder on an eight foot run?
The wire size depends on the amperage, not the voltage. The fact that the welder runs on 440 volts does not affect the wire size! You need to ask this question instead: What size wire do you need for a three phase welder on an eight foot run if the nameplate amps are 45A?
What size wire to use with 50 amp 480v 3 phase so cord size?
6
How do you size a phase converter to run a 3 phase welder?
From the nameplate on the welder you find the amperage that the welder draws at the three phase voltage that you are going to use. This amperage is used to size the phase converter. This amperage is also used to size the breaker that will feed the phase converter and wire size for the installation.
What size wire do you need for a 208 volt 3 phase load that draws 10.5 amps?
The size of conductor needed will be a #14. It should be copper and have an insulation factor of 90 degrees C. The fact that it is a three phase load does not enter into the calculation of the wire size.
When upsizing wire for voltage drop how much smaller can the neutral wire be the next phase conductor?
The neutral wire should be the same size as your conducters
Explain the comparison between dc 2 wire system and ac single phase 2 wire system and ac 3 phase 3 wire system and ac 3 phase 4 wire system?
of all of dem 3 phase 3 wire is most economical as it uses less conductor dan in 4 wire system, 3 phase 3 wire is used in transmission and 4 wire in distribution as it has 3 live and one neutral wire. 3 phase needs lesser conductor size than 2 phase 4 wire for the same power. 3 wire dc feeder is more economical than 2 wire dc feeder for the same power. that was all i cud get..... hope u find it a lil helpful.
Can you use 300v cable for 240v?
You most certianly can. Voltage ratings on wires are 300V,600V and 1000V. These are the maximum voltages. 120 - 240 on 300V, 480 - 575 on 600V, 1000V wire is a special order used for specialized equipment.
Can 14 gauge wire carry 220 volt?
Wire guage is used as a measurement for the ampacity of the wire. # 14 wire is allowed 15 amp to be applied to it. Voltage is governed by the insulation factor of the wire. The three standard insulations are for 300V, 600V and 1000 volts.
