How do you wire floating neutral in sub panel?
You need to be more specific. Is this your feed?? Is this a home run (the wire that is feeding a circuit). Anyway if this is your feed wire (the wire supplying power to your sub panel) then you will land your two hots , then you will land your ground wire on the lug that is bonded to the panel. Sometimes this is a ground bar that can be screwed to the panel itself and then your neutral will go to the bar that is not touching anything. So your neutral coming in will be tightened down to the same bar as the neutrals that are feeding the circuits. This is assuming you'r are feeding your sub panel with 2 hots, a ground and a neutral.
How do you know what wire is ground on 200 amp service?
On a 200 amp or any size service the ground wire is easily identified. Look in the distribution panel for the neutral bus bar. This is where the service neutral (white wire) is connected to the distribution panel. There you will see a bare copper wire connected to the same neutral bar. This is the ground wire that is connected to the ground rods out side of the house.
How do you wire a 15 amp 120V breaker in a 240v 30 amp breaker panel?
Look to see if the 30 amp panel is fed with a two wire or a three wire. If it is a two wire then you are out of luck. If the panel is fed with a three wire then the panel should have the neutral terminated in the panel. It is this neutral that you need for 120 volt connections. You didn't state how many panel slots there are in the panel. If you are able install a 15 amp breaker into the panel and connect the wires going to the load. The black wire will go to the breaker and the white wire will go to the neutral bar in the panel.
Can grounds and neutral wire share same buss bar?
No, the ground and neutral wires should not share the same bus bar in an electrical panel. The ground wire is for safety and should be connected to the ground bus bar, while the neutral wire is for returning current and should be connected to the neutral bus bar. Mixing them can cause dangerous conditions like electrical shock or fires.
Should neutral wire of lamp be connected to the 3amp or the 6 amp side of a canopy switch?
You should never switch the neutral wire. The neutral of the appliance should be connected directly to the neutral wire leading to the service panel neutral bar.
What size neutral wire for 200 amp service panel?
AWG # 3/0 copper.

When upsizing wire for voltage drop how much smaller can the neutral wire be the next phase conductor?
The neutral wire should be the same size as your conducters

What wire size for 400 amp service neutral size?
You need to look at the regulations that apply in your country. If in doubt, use a neutral wire of the same size as the live wire or wires.

What information does the sub panel wire size chart provide for determining the appropriate wire size for a sub panel installation?
The sub panel wire size chart provides information on the recommended wire size based on the amperage of the sub panel, the distance the wire needs to run, and the type of wire insulation. This helps determine the appropriate wire size for a sub panel installation to ensure safety and efficiency.
Can grounds and neutral wire share same buss bar?
No, the ground and neutral wires should not share the same bus bar in an electrical panel. The ground wire is for safety and should be connected to the ground bus bar, while the neutral wire is for returning current and should be connected to the neutral bus bar. Mixing them can cause dangerous conditions like electrical shock or fires.

What size wire should be used for a sub panel installation?
The size of wire needed for a sub panel installation depends on the amperage of the sub panel. It is recommended to consult with a licensed electrician to determine the appropriate wire size for your specific installation.
How and where do you connect the white wire from the shunt breake to the electrical panel?
The white wire would go to the neutral bar. Just be sure of the shunt trip voltage required for the breaker and land the white wire on the appropriate neutral bar in the correct panel.
Can aluminium wire be used on a new 200 amp panel?
Yes it can. It is 4/0 . Ne sure that the NEutral wire is the same guage as the hot legs. The ground can be #2 Alum
