Is 350mcm size wire the smallest wire that can be installed in a parallel permitted by the nec?
In the CEC only 1/0 and larger conductors can be run in parallel.
What is the minimum size wire allowed for a parallel run?
The minimum size wire that can be paralleled together stated in the electrical code book is a #3 copper conductor.
What size ground wire is required for 80 amp service?
Ground is sized based on the size of the feeder wire and not the amps of the service! However, for a 600 amp service 1500MCM copper wire is one option (NEC 310.16) ;therefor, ground wire is 3/O copper (NEC 250.66) or another option is a two sets of 350 MCM copper wire then a #2 copper (since the biggest feeder wire is 350MCM).
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.
Can you double up on insulated wires for greater ampacity?
According to the 2008 National Electrical Code, the smallest wire that can be run in parallel is a 1/0 AWG (American Wire Gauge). If the wire you are using is smaller than a 1/0 AWG, you will need to increase the size of the wire to handle the amperage (Table 310.16 of the NEC).
What size feeder wire for 100 amps?
Service wire for 100 amps requires AWG #3 copper.
What is the smallest size wire that can be installed in a parallel permitted by the nec?
1/0 wire
What is the smallest size wire that can be installed in a parallel permitted be the nec?
1/0 wire
Is 350mcm size wire the smallest wire that can be installed in a parallel permitted by the nec?
In the CEC only 1/0 and larger conductors can be run in parallel.
What is the minimum wire size for desk lamp cords?
Most lamp wire is parallel #16 conductors.
What size of wire are you going to use if you have a 1500kw load and is 60meters away from the feeder.?
To answer this question the voltage that will be used has to be known.
What size ground wire for 600 amp service?
Ground is sized based on the size of the feeder wire and not the amps of the service! However, for a 600 amp service 1500MCM copper wire is one option (NEC 310.16) ;therefor, ground wire is 3/O copper (NEC 250.66) or another option is a two sets of 350 MCM copper wire then a #2 copper (since the biggest feeder wire is 350MCM).
How do you calculate the feeder size for two or more three phase air condition?
Feeder sizes are based on the amperage of the connected load. Once that is found there are tables in the electrical code book that state what the wire size is for that particular amperage.
What wire size needed for 120 volt 3000 watt load?
AWG # 10 wire on 30 amp circuit.
What is the minimum size wire allowed for a parallel run?
The minimum size wire that can be paralleled together stated in the electrical code book is a #3 copper conductor.
What size wire do you need for 100 amp feeder single phase running 350' away?
To answer this question a voltage must be given.
What size wire should be used to connect a water heater from the panel?
The wire size is dependent upon the wattage size of your water heater. The higher the wattage the larger the wire size. A standard 3000 watt heater will use a two pole 20 amp breaker connected to 2C #12 wire.
