What gauge wire for 220 volts?
You need to know the amperage to size the wire. For 220 V at 20 A you would need 12 AWG. At 220 V at 30 A 10 AWG.
Is a 220 volt electrical power wire the same as a 240 volt electrical power wire?
Yes 220 & 240 are considered the same.
How do you wire a 220 3 wire breaker to 4 wire dyer?
Buy a 3 wire cord for your dryer.
How can I change 2 wire 220 1 phase to 4 wire 220 single phase to run an electric range?
Just replace the cord. Your manual has instructions.
What is the fifth wire in a 5 wire 220 circuit?
Three phases, one neutral and a GROUND
What wire color is ground on a 4 wire 220 volt cord The I know the green is and what red black or white?
Depending on the configuration of the cord cap, the green wire is ground, the white wire is the neutral and red and black wires are the 220 volt source.
Does it matter what leg or phase of 110 connects to white wire in 220 circuit?
The white (or neutral) wire is not involved in a 220 circuit. Using US NEC conventions, red and black in a 120/240 split phase service form the 240 (220) circuit. The neutral (white) wire is only used when you want 120 (110) volts.
Can you wire a 220 range recepticle with 2 conuctor wire?
No, attempting to do so would be neither legal nor safe.
On a 220 volt circuit where the white wire is common how many volts would the red wire be?
3 OR 4 . you only need 2 wires for 220, 1 phase is 120v between 2 of them its 220v . you also should have a ground for the third wire ,and the newer stuff requires a neutral or white wire for the 4th wire. hope i helped , D
