Can you run two 60 amp sources in parallel to get 100 amps out?

No they can not, because the electrical code states that wires in parallel can only be 1/0 AWG and larger. The ampacity of 1/0 wire is 150 amps. The ampacity of a wire for 60 amps is #6 which is much smaller that 1/0 wire.

Can work wire for 100 amps use for 60 amps circuit?
If you have 100 amp wire, you can use it for a 60 amp circuit, or for any circuit of 100 amps or less. But if you have a 60 amp circuit, 60 amp wire is thinner and cheaper than 100 amp wire.
How many amps does a 100 amp service supply?
A 100 amp service will supply your electrical current needs UP TO 100 amps.When doing load calculations on a 100 amp panel it can only be loaded up to 80 amps.
How much power is consumed by a 120voltage parallel circuit that contains a 100 ohm's load and an 80 ohm's load and draws 2.7 amp's what is the wattage?
A 120 v circuit would supply 120 v to both resistors if they are in parallel, which is 120/100 amps into a 100 ohm load, and 120/80 amps into am 80 ohms load, which totals up to 2.7 amps, so the total power is 120x2.7 watts or 324 watts.
Is a 15 amp double tandem the same as a double pole 30 amp?
No the outlet holes are in parallel so the total ampacity of the receptacle is still 15 amps.
Will a 7000 starting amps and 10500 running amps run a 78 amp furnace?
In the electrical trade the only time there is a reference to start and running amps is when dealing with motors. The running amps is always lower than the starting amps. A 78 amp electric furnace will take a 100 amp service for it to operate and be within the electrical code guide lines.

How many amps can be put on a 125 amp service?
You should not load a 125 amp panel any more than 100 amps.

How do you tell what alternator you have whether it is 100 amps or 1900 amps?
Well, if the alternator is on any type of vehicle that has been made within the last 100 years, it will be the 100 amp alternator. There is no such thing as a 1900 amp alternator for a car. The highest I have seen is about 150 amps, and that is a heavy-duty truck alternator.
Can you wire a 40 amp range to a 100 amp box if you are already about at 60 amps?
Yes, you can, you just can't have 100 amps running through the box at one time. For instance, I have a 450 amp box in my house, but all the breakers add up to 900.
Is a 15 amp double tandem the same as a double pole 30 amp?
No the outlet holes are in parallel so the total ampacity of the receptacle is still 15 amps.
Will a 7000 starting amps and 10500 running amps run a 78 amp furnace?
In the electrical trade the only time there is a reference to start and running amps is when dealing with motors. The running amps is always lower than the starting amps. A 78 amp electric furnace will take a 100 amp service for it to operate and be within the electrical code guide lines.
How many amp do you need to run a house?
Minimal 100. Depends on load draw of home. Can be 200 amps or 400 amps as well.
Watts a 100 amp panel will run?
The formula you are looking for is Watts = Amps x Volts.
What size neutral conductor for 100 amp panel?
#2 Copper with TW insulation is required for 100 amp loads #3 Copper with R90 insulation is rated at 105 amps.
What size service ground is needed for a 350 parallel service?
From the question it is hard to establish whether the service size is 350 amps or the service conductors are 350 MCM in parallel. If the service is 350 amps, the grounding conductor is #3 bare copper wire. Parallel 350 MCM conductors will allow for a 600 amp service. The grounding conductor for a 600 amp service is a #1 bare copper wire.
