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 wire gauge is needed to carry 150 amps at 240 volts?
At the service entrance you will need AWG 1/0 gauge.
What size USE wire is needed for 200 amps?
As a service entrance wire you need AWG # 3/0 gauge copper.
What size wire do you need to run overhead to a 50 amp service five hundred feet away?
For that distance I would run AWG # 3 copper and install a sub-panel.
What gauge wire for 208 volt 95 amp 200 ft?
A #1 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 95 amps for 200 feet on a 208 volt system. This size will allow the conductor to be loaded to 76 amps. 95 x 80% = 76 amps Conductors are only allowed to be loaded to 80% or their rated capacity. If you need the full 95 amps then you would need to use a wire with a rating of 120 amps. 120 x 80% = 96 amps. A 1/0 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 120 amps for 200 feet on a 208 volt system.
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.
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.

This is a voltage drop question. A voltage at 30 amps needs to be stated to answer the question.
What size wire needed for 200 amp service 400 feet away direct buried single phase 240 volt 3 wire?
Assuming you are working with 240v, you need 4/0 copper conductors.
What gauge wire would I need for 2500 feet for 240 volts and 0.4 amps?
A #14 wire will do the job.
What size electrical wire do I need to run from a meter main to a 200 amp panel 80 feet away?
A 3/0 copper conductor with an insulation rating of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 200 and 210 amps respectively. A 3/0 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 2% or less when supplying 200 amps for 80 feet on a 240 volt system.
