What size aluminum wire needed for 30 amp at 240 volt for 500 feet underground?
A 1/0 aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 30 amps for 500 feet on a 240 volt system.
What size aluminum wire for 100 amps undergroundservice 60 feet from meter?
A 3/0 aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 150 amps for 150 feet on a 240 volt system. This size will allow the conductor to be loaded to 120 amps. 150 x 80% = 120 Conductors are only allowed to be loaded to 80% or their rated capacity. If you need the full 150 amps then you would need to use a wire with a rating of 190 amps. 190 x 80% = 152 amps A 4/0 aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 190 amps for 150 feet on a 240 volt system.
What size conductor is needed to carry 25 amps 120 volt AC over 400 feet?
A #4 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 25 amps for 400 feet on a 120 volt system.
What size aluminum wire to feed 125 Amps 220 volt a distance of 175' and what size ground?
A 3/0 aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to3% or less when supplying 125 amps for 175 feet on a 220 volt system. If the 125 amp load is a sub distribution panel that is not going to be fully loaded to 125 amps then using the exact connected load, which might be smaller than 125 amps will effect the wire sizing. The grounding conductor for that size distribution panel is #6 bare copper.
What size aluminum wire needed for 60 amp at 240 volt for 330 feet underground?
A 1/0 AWG aluminium conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 60 amps for 330 feet on a 240 volt system. The cable will be rated as ACWU 90. ACWU 90 cables are primarily intended for exposed and concealed wiring in dry or wet locations and where exposed to the weather. For use in ventilated, non-ventilated, and ladder type cable trays in wet and dry locations; direct earth burial; service entrance above or below ground.
What size aluminum wire needed for 30 amp at 240 volt for 500 feet underground?
A 1/0 aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 30 amps for 500 feet on a 240 volt system.
What size wire needed for 25 amps 220 volts for 75 feet?
10 AWG in copper.
What size aluminum wire for 100 amps undergroundservice 60 feet from meter?
A 3/0 aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 150 amps for 150 feet on a 240 volt system. This size will allow the conductor to be loaded to 120 amps. 150 x 80% = 120 Conductors are only allowed to be loaded to 80% or their rated capacity. If you need the full 150 amps then you would need to use a wire with a rating of 190 amps. 190 x 80% = 152 amps A 4/0 aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 190 amps for 150 feet on a 240 volt system.
What size conductor is needed to carry 25 amps 120 volt AC over 400 feet?
A #4 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 25 amps for 400 feet on a 120 volt system.
What size wire is needed for 800 amps?
Loaded question, what is the voltage, run length, aluminum or copper feeders, expected constant load? Definitely bigger than 4/0
What size aluminum wire to feed 125 Amps 220 volt a distance of 175' and what size ground?
A 3/0 aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to3% or less when supplying 125 amps for 175 feet on a 220 volt system. If the 125 amp load is a sub distribution panel that is not going to be fully loaded to 125 amps then using the exact connected load, which might be smaller than 125 amps will effect the wire sizing. The grounding conductor for that size distribution panel is #6 bare copper.
What size of Al conductor is needed for 630 amp current?
A 2000 MCM aluminum conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 650 amps. Parallel 500 MCM aluminum conductors with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C have the capacity of 2 x 330 = 660 amps. Triple 250 MCM aluminum conductors with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C have the capacity of 3 x 215 = 645 amps.
What size wire is needed for carrying 100 amps under ground?
To calculate the wire size, a system voltage is needed.
What wire size needed to 150 amp load 100 feet undergroud?
Assuming the service voltage is 240 volts. A 2/0 aluminum conductor, with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C, will limit the voltage drop to 2% or less when supplying 125 amps for 100 feet on a 240 volt system.
What wire size needed for 150 amp service at 325 feet Copper or Aluminum?
This is a voltage drop question. To receive an answer to this question the voltage of the service must be stated.
What size aluminum ser cable needed for 100 amp sub panel?
#2 aluminum for 100 amp
What size wire needed for 100 amp service 700 feet away?
A 400 MCM copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 100 amps for 700 feet on a 240 volt system. This size will allow the conductor to be loaded to 80 amps. 100 x 80% = 80 amps. Conductors are only allowed to be loaded to 80% or their rated capacity. If you need the full 100 amps then you would need to use a wire with a rating of 125 amps. 125 x 80% = 100 amps. A 600 MCM copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 125 amps for 700 feet on a 240 volt system.
