Wiring size for 75-foot run from 40 amp breakers to tankless water . . . What type of wire will I need to use for a long run from my 40 amp breakers? Heater will be 240v and about 50-55 feet from the panel I'm doing the ceiling remodel and adding lights and wiring While I am up there, I will drop in dead wire conduit for the future tankless install by an electrician to save on install costs

wiring - Wire size for double pole breakers - Home Improvement Stack . . . In the breaker panel it's hooked up to a 30-amp double pole breaker with #12 wire Inspector notes that #10 wire should be used for 30-amp circuits so that the wire does not melt before the breaker can do its job in an over-current situation This makes sense to me, but I'm thrown off by the double-pole configuration

Inspecting Aluminum Wiring During a Home Inspection The next size up of aluminum wire is required to get the equivalent electricity flow of electricity compared to copper wire So, for example, a 15-amp circuit that uses 14-gauge copper wire uses 12-gauge solid aluminum wire, one size larger
