The minimum wire size for a 30Amp breaker is typically 10 AWG for copper wire and 8 AWG for aluminum wire, according to the National Electrical Code (NEC). This wire size is necessary to safely carry the amount of current without overheating.
AWG 10.
The recommended wire size for an 80 amp breaker is typically 4 AWG (American Wire Gauge) for copper wire and 2 AWG for aluminum wire.
The recommended wire size for a 70 amp breaker is typically 4 AWG (American Wire Gauge) for copper wire and 2 AWG for aluminum wire.
The recommended wire size for a 100A service is typically 2 AWG copper or 1/0 AWG aluminum.
It stands for American Wire Gauge and a designation like 10 AWG indicates the size. There are a number of other specifications which derive from the cross sectional area of the wire as designated by the gauge. One confusing aspect is as the number of the gauge gets smaller the current carrying capacity increases.
The larger the AWG number the smaller the wire. 10 AWG wire can carry more current than 12 AWG wire.The wire sizes of 24 and 26 are the smallest that are used in the electrical.See related links below
A 100 amp service requires that you use AWG 4 copper wire or AWG 2 aluminum wire.
No, in AWG (American Wire Gauge), the wire gauge number actually decreases as the wire size increases. This means that a lower AWG number indicates a thicker wire, while a higher number indicates a thinner wire. For example, a 12 AWG wire is thicker than a 20 AWG wire.

The recommended wire size for a 100A subpanel installation is typically 3 AWG copper or 1 AWG aluminum.
The recommended wire size for a 100A electrical circuit is typically 3 AWG copper or 1 AWG aluminum.
