What is the right wire size for a 30A 220 Circuit over 40 ft?
WEBFeb 15, 2018 · Now size your breaker and wires. Take your instructions or derated amps number and round UP to the next larger size of 30, 40 or 50. So 37.5 becomes 40. That will be the size of your circuit and breaker. The minimum wire size for 30A is 10 AWG. The minimum wire size for 40A is 8 AWG. The minimum wire size for 50A is 6 AWG copper, or 4 AWG aluminum.
What size wire for 20 amp 220V 80' - Home Improvement Stack …
WEBJun 26, 2018 at 3:02. FYI, 80' is too short by half to be worrying about upsizing wires for voltage drop. Focus on using underground rated wires, e.g. not NM or SER/SEU. – Harper - Reinstate Monica. Apr 20 at 6:11.
electrical - What gauge wire do I need for my dryer? - Home …
WEBMay 7, 2016 · 3. Typically a 220v/30 amp Dryer circuit would utilize 10/3 with ground. According to this voltage drop table, it looks like for 100' run you would want to up-size the wire to #8 copper, to maintain voltage drop less than 3%. So you have arrived at the correct conclusion within your question to use 8/3 with ground.

What wire gauge is required for a 220V air compressor?
WEBMar 23, 2012 · The question is missing a few pieces of data to properly calculate wire gauge. Assuming your motor is a 230V 5HP motor your FLC (NEC table Table 430.248) should be about 28A and as such you may be able to use 10AWG copper wire. On the other hand if the motor runs on 120V the FLC would be 56A and as such you need to run wire for 60A. Assuming ...
Which size wire I need to run 220 volt breaker for a tanning bed
WEBChoosing the appropriate wire size is of course about amperage, not voltage. Tester101 is completely right about the 4/0 conductors handling 220 amps, and also about needing to check the nameplate on the tanning bed where it should list the electrical requirements (or look up the model in the service manual or on the web).
What size breaker & wire do I need for my mini-split installation?
WEBOct 24, 2023 · It appears to say that you could run a 40 amp circuit with 8 gauge wire, a 35 amp circuit with 8 gauge wire, or a 30 amp circuit with 10 gauge wire. You can't run 10 gauge wire anywhere on a circuit larger than 30 amps, so if you use one of the larger breakers use the larger wire. You don't need a neutral.
