Should a 2 AWG copper wire be used to feed a 125 amp sub panel located 125 feet from main panel?

No, the conductor is too small. The feeder to a 120/240 volt sub panel should be a 1/0 copper or a 2/0 aluminium conductor. This size conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 125 amps for 125 feet on a 240 volt system. ACWU 90 (Armoured Cable Wet location Underground 90 degree C). ACWU 90 cable is code approved for direct burial and is used in many projects as an underground service distribution feeder. Aluminium is much cheaper than copper for this type of installation.

How can you find out the bus bar rating in a panel that is old and the rating sticker has fallen off is it safe to say that a panel with a 100 amp main breaker has a bus rated AT 125 AMPS?

A 100 amp panel should have a conservatively rated busbar and wiring but this says nothing about your particular panel. If you are asking a question relating to safety it needs to be seen by an electrician.


Can you upgrade a 100A main circuit breaker to a higher amp?

I doubt if the 125 amp breaker will fit into a 100 amp box. This is due to the rating of the box only being rated at 100 amps. If this exchange could be made then the service conductors feeding the box must be upgraded to take the 125 amperage that the breaker will allow on the conductor.


Would a 125 amp service panel be enough for a 1900 square foot house?

Absolutely not. A 60 amp whole house service is totally insufficient to power todays home, especially a 2800 square foot house. The NEC (National Electric Code) requires a minimum of 100 amp electrical service to any single family residence.

Can you replace your old 60 amp service panel box with a new 60 amp panel box?

Most jurisdictions will no longer allow the installation of 60 amp main service panels. If you are doing a repair, and a simple replacement MIGHT be considered a repair, you might get away with replacing one with the other. But if you have the time, money, and/or you KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING, I suggest you upgrade the service to at least 100 amps. Even in small homes the typical installation is now 125 amps. And if the home is all electric, typical installation is 200amps. Replacing a service panel can be very dangerous. Do this ONLY if you know what you are doing and how to protect yourself from injury. If you are guessing, DO NOT DO THIS TASK.

What size aluminum wire to feed 125 Amps 220 volt a distance of 175' and what size ground?

A 3/0 aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to3% or less when supplying 125 amps for 175 feet on a 220 volt system. If the 125 amp load is a sub distribution panel that is not going to be fully loaded to 125 amps then using the exact connected load, which might be smaller than 125 amps will effect the wire sizing. The grounding conductor for that size distribution panel is #6 bare copper.
