watsonder my towel 10/3 SOOW Specifications*: Color Code: 3 Conductors – Black, White, Green Also Known As: 10-3 Generator Cord, 10-3 rubber cord, 10 gauge 3 wire cord, 10/3 SO Cord, 10 AWG 3 Conductor Flexible Cord. To determine the load, add up the wattage of all electrical devices that will be on the circuit and divide this total by the voltage of the circuit, usually 120 volts or 240 volts. If you were to use 8/2 wire for a 150 foot run to a shed on a 20 amp breaker, chances are you wouldn't notice the drop.You need to know the length of the wire run and the load (current) that will be on the circuit. Keep in mind that a 3% voltage drop is minimal. A 240 volt, 30 amp circuit would require 3/3 AWG wire. 500 Feet - a 120-volt, 20 amp circuit would require 1/0 AWG wire. Copper Conductor Temp.A 240 volt, 30 amp circuit would require 4/3 AWG wire. This table provides you with the allowable ampacity (maximum current the cable can carry) that you can use with wires in conduit, raceway, cable or directly buried, assuming an ambient temperature of 86☏ (30☌).
10 3 wire 100 ft Determine the maximum amount of electrical current (amps) that can safely flow through different wire gauges.
