Transmission voltages are usually considered to be 110 kV and above. Where higher capacity is needed the line conductors are grouped in to three and four groups per phase leg. Voltages less than 33 kV are usually used for distribution by the utility companies.
The utility company then supplies the Transformers to drop the voltage even lower so that it can be brought to homes to be used by their customers.
The transmission lines are of a composite arrangement. ACSR, Aluminium Conductor Steel Reinforced.

What wire gauge is needed to carry 150 amps at 240 volts?
At the service entrance you will need AWG 1/0 gauge.
Can 14 gauge wire carry 220 volt?
Wire guage is used as a measurement for the ampacity of the wire. # 14 wire is allowed 15 amp to be applied to it. Voltage is governed by the insulation factor of the wire. The three standard insulations are for 300V, 600V and 1000 volts.
How many loads can a 20 amp 12 ga wire carry?
A #12 wire can carry 20 amps. Assuming the connected voltage is 120 volts the wattage will be Watts = Amps x Volts. W = 20 x 120 = 2400 watts. The circuit can legally be loaded to 80%. 2400 x 80% = 1920 watts. The maximum amount of loads that can be connected to a 20 amp #12 wire have to be added up individually but stay under 1920 watts.
How much volts can you run thur 6-3 uf wire?
600 Volts
What size wire for 55kw?
Wire is sized by the amperage that it will carry. 5 kW is 5000 watts. The equation to find watts is W = Amps x Volts. The equation to find amps is Amps = Watts/Volts. As you can see a voltage is needed to calculate the amperage. Once the amperage is stated, the wire size can be given for that particular amperage.
