The load is essentially what consumes electrons. For example a load on a light circuit would be a bulb. Therefore, if you don't hook up a load you aren't doing anything. It is like turning on a light switch without a bulb. It may give you some minor exercise, but it doesn't do anything useful.

When running new wiring to hook up a wall oven what size wire should be used?
Depends on the load of the oven. More than likely it will require AWG #6 but you need to read the electrical requirements for that particular oven.
What color wire do you hook up from generator to mobile home?
Sorry- we need a LOT more information to give you a SAFE and correct answer! It will depend on the voltage of the generator that you are connecting. You REALLY need to ask this question of an electrician who is looking at YOUR generator and YOUR mobile home.
What gauge wire is required to hook up an electric kitchen stove?
Normally a new kitchen stove will require a 50 amp breaker wired with AWG # 6/3 with ground wire.
Will awg 10 wire carry 30 amps for 30feet?
Yes, a #10 wire will carry 30 amps for 30 feet. If the load is rated as continuous then the wire will have to be derated to 80% capacity which will leave you with 24 workable amps. If the load demands currents higher that 24 amps then you will have to go to the next wire size up which is a #8 which is rated at 45 amps.
What wire size for 3 phase 460 volt 30 amps?
A breaker is sized by the load current. A breaker is used to protect the load feeder from an over current being applied to the conductor. If the load draws up to 30 amps, the wire size needs to be a #10 copper conductor or larger depending on the distance to the load with an insulation rating of 90 degrees C. The 460 volt source has to do with the insulation rating of the conductor. In this case the #10 conductor will need an insulation rating of 600 volts. Do not use 300 volt rated wire.
