What size service cable for 100 amp main panel 100 feet away?
20Sqmm
What wire size is used to make service connection from a 200 amp service panel to a 40 amp service panel 150 feet away?
8 AWG copper is rated for 40 amps. Over 150 ft, at maximum current, the voltage drop would be about 3.76 volts. Using 6 AWG would have a voltage drop of 2.36 volts with the same 40 amps.
What size wire for a 200 amp 3phase service 100 feet away?
This is a voltage drop question. A voltage must be stated to answer this question.
What size wire needed for 25 amps 220 volts for 75 feet?
10 AWG in copper.
What size stranded 4 lead Soojw cord for 480v 60a load on a cord length of 10 feet?
SOOJW is limited to 300 volts and should not be used on 480 volts
How many amp service do you need to handle 450 volts?
This depends solely on the load you might need a 15 amp service or a 1200 amp service. To find out look at the installation instructions and it will tell you what size the service supply needs to be. Watts = Amps times Volts Amps = Watts divided by Volts Volts = Amps divided by Watts Example 1500 Watt unit will pull 12.5 Amps at 120 Volts or 1500 Watt unit will pull 3.26 Amps at 460 volts or A 460 volt unit rated for 34 amps will be using 15.64 kWh or 15,640 Watts Also the higher the voltage, the lower the Amperage, however, the wattage will stay the same <<>> The question is asking about two different values. Voltage is an insulation value whereas amperage is a conductor size. The basic insulation values are 300, 600 and 1000 volts. In the question on this service, a insulation factor of 600 volts will be used for the conductors. The amperage of a service is based on the connected load that needs to be supplied. The load can be an individual load or as in a distribution panel a variety of loads. At 460 volts, the service can be either a three phase service or a single phase service. Once the load amperage has been established, the wire size for the service can be calculated. Once the wire has been sized, the breaker used to protect the wire from being overloaded will be calculated.
What size wire will carry 52 amps - the service is 8 feet away?
A #6 copper wire with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degree C is rated at 65 amps.
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 size wire do you need to carry nineteen amps for two hundred feet at two hundred forty volts ac?
10 guage
What gauge wire to use for direct burial for a garage that is 400 feet from your house?
Depends on the size of the sub-panel in that garage. If you are installing a 60 amp sub-panel 400 feet away from the main service panel then use AWG # 4.
Will 14-2 wire push 15 amps at 80ft?
80 feet of 14 AWG wire has a resistance of about .2 ohms. So at 15 amps the voltage drop across the length of wire is about 3 volts. With 120 volt service, this should be fine. If you up the wire size to 12 AWG, the voltage drop would be 1.9 volts.
What size service underground wire for 60amp at60 feet?
# 6 copper wire.
