Yes, you can use a 4 AWG cable to replace a 6 AWG cable, as the 4 AWG cable has a larger diameter and can handle more current. However, it's important to ensure that the new cable is compatible with the existing circuit's rating and that it meets local electrical codes. Additionally, you should verify that the connectors and overcurrent protection devices are appropriate for the larger cable size. Always consult a qualified electrician if you have any doubts.

What is the recommended cable size for a 200 amp service entrance cable?
The recommended cable size for a 200 amp service entrance is typically 2/0 AWG copper or 4/0 AWG aluminum.
What is the wire that comes out of the positive battery cable attachment on my 1990 Isuzu Trooper?
If it's a heavy gauge (around 8 AWG IIRC), that's the charge wire to the alternator BATT post. The larger cable (about 4 AWG) goes to the starter.
What size service cable would you need for a 200 amp service?
For a 200 amp service, you would typically need a service cable with a minimum size of 2/0 AWG copper or 4/0 AWG aluminum to safely handle the current. It's important to check local building codes and consult with a licensed electrician to ensure compliance and safety.
What is larger 6 AWG or 4 AWG?
4 Gauge wire is larger in diameter than 6 Gauge wire.
What is the required wire size for 100?
A 100 amp service requires that you use AWG 4 copper wire or AWG 2 aluminum wire.
Can you use 4 AWG wire with a 6 AWG ground wire to a sub box 100 feet away?
Yes you can. You did not say how many amps were required.
What wire size should you use for a 80 amp electric box?
A #14 copper conductor is rated at 15 amps.
What cable for 150 amp Service Entrance Cable?
For a 150 amp service entrance cable, you would typically use 2/0 AWG (American Wire Gauge) copper or 4/0 AWG aluminum cable. This size provides the necessary capacity to handle the electrical load of a 150 amp service. It's recommended to consult with a licensed electrician for specific guidance based on your local electrical code requirements.
What is the difference between 10 awg and 12 awg speaker wire?
10 AWG wire will have less resistance per foot and therefore you can have longer runs with 10 AWG than 12 AWG without as much loss of signal. Additional to loss of signal there is a need to maintain a low impedance driving the typical speaker with its 4 ohm or 8 ohm coil resistance, to avoid frequency-distortion. A guide rule is that the speaker cable should have a total resistance around 1% of the speaker resistance (or less). On that basis, for 5 yards of speaker cable for a 4 ohm speaker the wire size would be 4 sq. mm (11 AWG) or for an 8 ohm speaker 2 sq. mm (14 AWG). <<>> Using the above formula of 1% of the speaker resistance the above answer is not correct. For a 4 ohm speaker at 1% is .04 ohms. The resistance of #12 wire is .001588 ohms per foot. This will allow you to run 25 feet and still stay within the parameters. For a 4 ohm speaker at 1% is .04 ohms. The resistance of #10 wire is .00100 ohms per foot. This will allow you to run 40 feet and still stay within the parameters. You can see, what the first answer states is correct.
