What size wire for 400 amp distribution panel?
For a distribution panel rated at 400 amps parallel runs of 3/0 conductors will do the job.
How much money to conver a 100 amp house to handle 350 amp input?
A 350 amp service is not a standard service distribution. It jumps from a 200 to a 400 amp rated distribution equipment. The only way to obtain a 350 size service is to install 400 amp equipment and fuse it at 350 amps. The standard size home distributions in North America today are rated at 200 amps. The cost of the service differs through out the continent. Ask your local electrical contractor for an estimate on an electrical upgrade to the required service that you want.
What gauge wire to use for direct burial for a garage that is 400 feet from your house?
Depends on the size of the sub-panel in that garage. If you are installing a 60 amp sub-panel 400 feet away from the main service panel then use AWG # 4.
How can you tell what your home amp service is?
Look on the handle end of the main breaker. There should be a number there. That is the amperage of the main breaker. That is the size of your house service.
Can you run 500mcm to feed 480 volt 400 amp service?
500 mcm (or 500kcmil) conductors are used for 400 amp 480v single phase or 3 phase systems. The wire AND THE TERMINALS must be rated for 90o Celsius.
What is the wire size needed to feed a 400 amp service with parallel copper?
It depends on the length of the run
For a parallel feed to a 1200 Amp service 3 phase what size is the grounding electrode to main service with 3 600 mcm parallel runs?
500 mcm
Do you need a main dissconnect for a 400 amp 3 phase service?
No, you can use the six main rule. This means you would have a 400 amp main lug panel, with six breakers or less, but no more than six. You can also use six individual disconnects.
What is the maxiam capacity for 400amp service?
When you talk of the capacity of a service you are talking about the capacity of the equipment to handle a certain amperage. A 400 amp service has to have all of its equipment to be rated to handle 400 amps. The maximum capacity of the service will be what the service is protected at, be it with fused or breakers. If the fuses of the main breaker were 300 amp rated then the maximum capacity of the service would be 300 amp even though the equipment is rated at 400 amps. The service capacity is governed by the fusing that is protecting the service.
What size service conductors do you need for a single phase 600 amp commercial panel?
The size of wire for service entrance conductors for a 400 amp 3 phase service could be 500 MCM copper. This is very large size wire and difficult to bend and shape, to connect to terminals in the main disconnect and distribution panel. This problem is solved by using parallel conductors or on higher ampacities triple conductors. Using parallel conductors the wire size would be three ought (3/0) copper.
What size conduit for 400 amp service?
4 inch rigid conduit
How many volts normal home 400 amp service?
120v /240v
What size service ground is needed for a 350 parallel service?
From the question it is hard to establish whether the service size is 350 amps or the service conductors are 350 MCM in parallel. If the service is 350 amps, the grounding conductor is #3 bare copper wire. Parallel 350 MCM conductors will allow for a 600 amp service. The grounding conductor for a 600 amp service is a #1 bare copper wire.
What size rigid conduit for 400 amp service?
4 inch rigid conduit
What is the largest sub panel you can install off from a 60 amp main panel fed by 100 amp service?
If what you state in this question is accurate this is an illegal installation. A 100 amp service can not have any equipment connected to it less that that of the service size. The 60 amp main panel must be a 100 amp panel to be a legal installation.
Who makes a main breaker 200 amp service that has built in 200 amp gfci?
NOBODY!
What size wire for 400 amp distribution panel?
For a distribution panel rated at 400 amps parallel runs of 3/0 conductors will do the job.
