How far can you run a 12 gauge electrical wire?

This is a voltage drop question. To answer this question an amperage is needed.


How many amps will 14 gauge wire carry at 200ft?

A #14 copper wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 15 amps. To answer your question for voltage drop at 200 feet a voltage needs to be stated. Assuming the voltage of 120 is used to maintain 15 amps at the distance of 200 feet a #6 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to less that 3 percent. Assuming the voltage of 240 is used to maintain 15 amps at the distance of 200 feet a #10 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to less that 3 percent.


What is the size wire for 200 amp?

At least 000 AWG copper or better yet, 0000 AWG copper. Another consideration is how far the 200 Amps are to be carried. Wire has resistance and 0000 copper has a resistance of .04901 Ohms per thousand feet. At 200 Amps, this means that over one thousand feet the voltage will be 9.8 Volts lower than at the starting point.


What size wire is needed to feed a 125 amp sub panel from a 200 amp panel less than 200 wire feet away?

A #1 copper wire with an insulation rating of 90 degrees C is rated at 140 amps.


In a residential 200amp service is 100 amps the maximum that each of the two phase conductor can transmit or can they both carry 200 amps?

Each hot leg to the neutral wire of the service has the ampacity of 200 amps, that is why 3/0 wire is required. A 3/0 copper wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 210 amps.

What gauge wire for 208 volt 95 amp 200 ft?

A #1 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 95 amps for 200 feet on a 208 volt system. This size will allow the conductor to be loaded to 76 amps. 95 x 80% = 76 amps Conductors are only allowed to be loaded to 80% or their rated capacity. If you need the full 95 amps then you would need to use a wire with a rating of 120 amps. 120 x 80% = 96 amps. A 1/0 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 120 amps for 200 feet on a 208 volt system.
