What size grounding conductor is needed for a 80 amp service?
For service sizes of 100 amps and less a #8 bare copper conductor is required.
What size ground wire for 100a service?
A 100 amp residential service requires a size #8 copper wire, it should be insulated in green.
What size ground wire for a 400 amp panel in Quebec?
This answer is taken from the CEC. Table 17 states minimum size of grounding conductors. For a service conductor drawing 400 amps a #3 copper grounding conductor is needed. Also see rules 10-206, 10-700 and 10-812 if you have access to the code book.
The resistance of a copper conductor will decrease with an increase of applied voltage?
No, the resistance of a copper conductor does not vary according to applied voltage. It is constant for a given wire size, and only varies with temperature. Of course, current through a conductor causes it to heat, so current, not voltage, indirectlycauses a change in resistance.
What is the minimum size wire allowed for a parallel run?
The minimum size wire that can be paralleled together stated in the electrical code book is a #3 copper conductor.
What is the minnimum size equipment grounding conductor required by the NEC for a branch-circuit protected by a 50-ampere rated circuit breaker?
#10 copper
What is ampere rating of a fuse used to protect a 5.5 mm squared conductor?
The equivalent mm2 cross-sectional area of a 5.26 mm2 conductor is a # 10 AWG conductor. A # 10 AWG conductor size is protected by a 30 amp fuse.
Is number 3 copper ground conductor a common conductor size?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.CEC states that a #3 bare copper conductor is a common grounding conductor size for a 200 amp service panel and it is the minium size for service raceway and service equipment of 400 amps.
What is the size of wire for 15a rating for50 quantity socket?
A #14 copper conductor is rated for 15 amps. A #12 copper conductor is rated for 20 amps.
What is the minimum size copper service entrance conductor for 145 amp service?
A #1 copper conductor with an insulation rating of 90 degrees C is rated at 145 amps.
What size R90 copper conductor should be used for a 200A service?
A 3/0 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 225 amps.
What is the wire size for 160 ampere load?
For a typical use it would be 1/0 (one ought) wire in copper.
Minimum wire size for 175 ampere motor?
A 2/0 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 185 amps. A motor feeder by code has to be 125% greater than the motors full load amperage. Therefore 175 x 125% = 218 amps. A 4/0 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 235 amps.
What is cable size for ceiling fan?
A #14 copper conductor will do very nicely for this type of project.
What size wire to carry 8 amps at 120 volts?
A # 14 copper conductor will be fine to carry 8 amps at 120 volts. This size conductor is rated at 15 amps.
What size grounding conductor is needed for a 80 amp service?
For service sizes of 100 amps and less a #8 bare copper conductor is required.
What size ground wire for 100a service?
A 100 amp residential service requires a size #8 copper wire, it should be insulated in green.
