Where would a 100 amp breaker be used?
In a residential application it would most likely be used as the breaker for the entire main electric panel or a subpanel feed.
100 amp subpanel from 200amp service what size wire do you use?
A #4 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 85 amps.
What is the max amps for a 4 gauge wire can 4 gauge feed a 100A breaker box?
Yes, # 4 AWG copper and 100 amps is the max.
What kind of wire do you use for a 100 amp service?
If you are supplying power to a 100 amp cont. load then 100 x 125% = 125 amp A #3 wire with an insulation factor of 75 and 90 degrees C is rated at 100 and 105 amps respectively. A #1 wire with an insulation factor of 75 and 90 degrees C is rated at 130 and 140 amps respectively.
How do you add a 240 volt receptacle to 100 amp supply?
The 240 volt receptacle has to have an amperage rating. It is this rating that governs the wire size and breaker size to feed the circuit. The new two pole breaker will be inserted in the 100 amp distribution if space is available and connected to the new wiring that terminates at the new receptacle.

Can you use a 200 amp subpanel on a 100 amp branch circuit?
Yes you can, but it is all about distribution of the load. You still have a maximum limiting current of 150 Amps. So if you did use 100 amps on the sub-panel that would only leave 50 amps on the main. Since power usage is usually not constant and varies by day and situation, you just need to make sure the load is distributed so you don't start tripping breakers.
What percent of copper is a 1O THHN Electrical Wire?
I would need more detailon your question but what i can tell you is 100' of #10 THHN eire is 8320grams with insulation and 7110 grams as bear copper wire. Now what i am trying to figure out is if that copper wire is 100% copper or not?
What wire size for 100 amp sub panel 250 ft from main panel?
1/0 copper thhn covering. 3/0 aluminum again thhn covering
Can you run an additional breaker panel parallel to the existing one?
It is not in parallel. You put a breaker in existing panel and use that to feed the subpanel. The Amperage of this subfeed breaker should match the rating of the new panel. For example a 100A breaker might be typical. Remember that ground and neutral are only "bonded" at the main panel. Usually a subpanel has a means to separate the neutral and ground in a subpanel. Be careful since everything about doing this is dangerous.Another AnswerYes, you can have two breaker panels in parallel. If you had a 100 amp panel on a 200 amp service (or increase the size of the service, check with your power company on the size of your service, you could add a second 100 amp panel in parallel with the first. You can have up to 6 disconnects per service, but they must be located adjacent to each other or in the same enclosure. So either install the second panel beside the first or a 100 amp disconnect beside the first panel and feed out of the disconnect to the new panel located where you need it.
How do I add new circuits to an 100 watt electrical box from the 1970'sIt has two open slots on the bottom and should I add a subpanel or upgrade the whole box I am disabled and have ltd resources?
It depends on what you are adding for a load. There is nothing wrong with what you have, but if you have more than two circuits to add, a subpanel is your answer if the loads are lighting or other small stuff. Pricewise and ease of installation equals a subpanel. If adding larger loads, an upgrade to 200 amps is necessary.
What size of wire is required for 20 amps 220v over 100 ft?
12 AWG should be fine since resistance of wire is only about .16 ohms per 100 ft.
How much fried rice needed to feed 100 people?
Approximately 100 cups of rice will feed 100 people.
You want to put 100 amp meter in old small house what gauge wire should you use for main service?
#4 thhn copper or # 2 aluminum
How many medovniks feed 100 people?

How do you calculate feed conversion ratio for broilers?
feed conversion ratio: for every one broiler,a certain amount of feed is consumed. eg: 100 broilers is feed 800kg of feed 100 : 800 100 : 800 1 : 8 so for every one(1) broiler,eight(8)kg of feed is consumed.
How much feed is needed to produce 100 pounds of milk?
It requires 88 pounds of feed to produce 100 pounds of milk
