I am not aware of any practical need for this question other than for possible homework, but the answer is basic OHM's law Size the wire,
find the ohms per foot in a reference manual,
measure the total resistance,
calculate the number of feet

How do you calculate diameter of a copper wire conductor and how do we calculate resistance of a copper wire conductor of a particaular length?
You go to the NEC and look at the chart for developed length and the ambient temperature and the load factor and if it solid or stranded wire as stranded allows for more voltage
What size wire 100 kva transformer?
Wire sizing of a feed conductor is based on the amperage that a device draws. To calculate amperage from KVA a voltage of the supply has to be stated. Without this voltage and whether the transformer is single or three phase an answer can not be given.
What color should a H2 Conductor on 480 volt transformer should be marked?
The conductor for H2 connection on a 480 volt wire transformer should be marked:
What is the formula to calculate length of the wire?
There is no formula to calculate the length of a wire. The length of a wire is determined by the distance from the power source to where the load is situated.
Which metals are the best conductor of electric?
If the volume and length of the wire are constant, then silver. If the weight and length of the wire are constant, then sodium is the best conductor.
How can i calculate amperes for transformers?
Find the wire from the secondary of the transformer. If it's a step-down transformer the thicker wire is the secondary. Measure its diameter in inches and calculate its cross-section area in square inches. The current rating for transformer wire is 1000 amps per square inch, or 1.55 amps per square mm.
How are the amperes for transformer calculated?
Find the wire from the secondary of the transformer. If it's a step-down transformer the thicker wire is the secondary. Measure its diameter in inches and calculate its cross-section area in square inches. The current rating for transformer wire is 1000 amps per square inch, or 1.55 amps per square mm.
Which is a better conductor between a short wire and long wire?
Double the length is double the resistance. Resistance of a wire is the resistivity of the material, times the length, divided by the cross-section area.
Where the ground wire located?
The grounded conductor is usually covered in white or light gray insulation. The grounded conductor is connected to the grounding conductor at one and only one point, usually near the transformer or in the circuit breaker panel.
How does the resistance of a wire vary with its lenght?
If the wire's cross-section area is constant, then its resistance per unit length is constant, and the total resistance should be directly proportional to the length of a wire segment.
Is wire an insulator or conductor?
A metal wire is a conductor. It is the plastic layer round the wire that is an insulator.
Is a copper wire a insulator or conductor?
conductor
