What size wire to run air handler which requires a 100 amp breaker?
If the run is less than 100' use 4 AWG copper.
What can you run off a 50 Amp breaker?
Anything that does not pull over 50 amps.
What size wire for 100 amp panel in detatched garage?
i just left lowes an they told me to run 100 amp to my building i would need wire size 2-2-2-4 alumninum and run it in conduit the lowes around here does not sell copper wire that size
What wire gage for 130' supply 100 amp service?
I would run 1/0 gauge.
How many wall plugs can be run off a 15 amp breaker?
Rule of thumb would be 8.
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.
Can you tap off of a 200 amp service for 2 100 amp panels?
Yes, but at every reduction in wire size there has to be a breaker sized to the smaller wire size. The wire size for 100 amp panels is recommended at #3 copper conductor. From the 200 amp feeder panel you will require a 100 amp two pole breaker for each of the two 100 amp services. Keep in mind that if you run the 100 amp services close to maximum this will take away the capacity of the 200 amp service for other branch circuits coming off of it. Also keep in mind that if the panels are located, not in the same building as the 200 amp service that the 100 amp panels will be treated as separate services and will have to be constructed like a 100 amp service. This includes ground rods. Also the bonding screw will have to be removed that connects the neutral buss to the panel enclosure.

Can you run 2 electric ranges and 2 microwaves with a 100 amp service?
Yes you can.
Can you use a 160 amp car alternator to run a 100 amp inverter?
160 amps is more than ample to run a 100 amp inverter.. what you need to look at is the required input amperage of the inverter and compare that to what's present in the circuit it's wired/plugged into. In most cases, you should be able to run up to a 400 amp inverter plugged into a 12v outlet, but again, you need to make sure.
What can a 115 Toyota Tacoma outlet run?
My outlet is listed 100 watt and 400 watt You can rough guess 1 amp per 100 watts. The amp requirement will be listed on the tool.
Watts a 100 amp panel will run?
The formula you are looking for is Watts = Amps x Volts.

What size wire is best to run for a breaker box piggy back from another breaker box?
The wire is sized to the breaker in the main box that is feeding the subpanel. The calculations for the subpanel is based on what devices will use the subpanel and an estimate of duty factors for the devices. An electrician can provide this information, or you can look on-line in the National Electric Code for estimation methods.
