Be careful. This question can have more than one valid answer. For instance, table 310.16 may apply in some circumstances, but if the 200A service in the question happens to be a single-phase service in a dwelling, there is a different table (310.15(B)(6) just for the purpose of sizing service conductors in that case. It indicates that 2/0 copper OR 4/0 aluminum would be the correct choice.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

What gage wire is used for a marina shore power 100 amp circuit breaker?
0 or if it a main breaker in a service entrance you can go down to #2 <<>> A #3 copper wire with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 100 and 105 amps respectively.
How thick is 26 gauge steel in mm?
For a wire classified under American Wire Gauge standards, 26 gauge wire is 0.0159" (0.40386 mm) in dameter. For a wire classified undere metric wire gauge standards, a 26 gauge wire is 2.6mm in diameter. Metric gauges are calculated simply by multiplying the diameter, in mm, by 10 and therefore increase as the diameter increases, unlike the AWG standard.
What is AWG in cable?
American Wire Gauge. Measure the thickness of the cable.
Short distance transmission of power is done at higher voltage or higher current?
High voltage is used to transfer power over long distances ONLY because the gauge of the wire can be smaller. Power transfer is always most efficient at the operating voltage if the size of wire is not an issue.
What is thicker 12 gauge or 18 gauge steel?
The lower the gauge the heavier, sheet metal, wire & shotguns...
What are the differences between 14 gauge and 12 gauge wire?
The main difference between 14 gauge and 12 gauge wire is their thickness. 12 gauge wire is thicker than 14 gauge wire, meaning it can carry more electrical current without overheating. This makes 12 gauge wire suitable for higher power applications compared to 14 gauge wire.
What is the gauge of wire for a 13.8 dc power cords?
You need to know the current to determine the wire gauge.
What is a good wire gauge for a car radio?
A good wire gauge for car radios is 18 gauge. This wire runs between the radio and its power supply from the vehicle.
Is an audio signal affected by wire gauge?
Absolutely for maximum power transfer impedance's are to be matched a low wire gauge will insure that the power is not dissipated on the wire as appose in the speakers.
What is the recommended wire gauge for connecting a Chamberlain garage door opener to the power source?
The recommended wire gauge for connecting a Chamberlain garage door opener to the power source is typically 14 AWG (American Wire Gauge).
What is the orange wire on your fuel pump harness for a 1990 ford f150 used for Is it a power wire?
It is the ground wire for the fuel pump. The Red wire is the power wire for the pump. the dark blue is the signal wire for the gauge and the black is the ground for the gauge.
What wire gauge should be used for an electric range?
For an electric range, a wire gauge of 8 AWG (American Wire Gauge) is typically recommended to handle the high power requirements of the appliance.
How to wire an amp gauge?
Amperage is always measured with the guage in series with the hot wire. That is the one wire is cut and the guage goes in line as opposed to some devices which have a hot and neutral (or ground).
What gauge wire should be used for lights?
The gauge wire used for lights should typically be between 14 and 18 gauge, depending on the wattage and distance from the power source.
What size of main and wire if the total load is 50.98amp?
6 gauge
What does GA for tubing stand for?
the answer is gauge its a measurement of thickness in wire the 4 gauge (ga) wire ran from my car battery to power my audio amp. the smaller the number the bigger the wire usually from 24 gauge to 1/0 gauge which is about a inch thick
What is the recommended gauge of wire to use for a 12 or 14 gauge wire?
The recommended gauge of wire to use for a 12 or 14 gauge wire is typically 10 gauge wire.
