In BC Canada, you need 2-#3 R90XLPE for the hot conductors, and 1-#6 R90XLPE for the neutral. Your ground is #6 bare copper.

What size wire for 100amp. 12vdc?

A #3 copper wire with an insulation rating of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 100 and 110 amps consecutively. As for the voltage, wire is usually rated in 300, 600 and 1000 volts. Any three of these insulations factors will handle 12 VDC.

What wire size for 100amp load for distance of 1000ft?

At that distance you will have a voltage drop of 81.25 volts if you use the recommended #6 wire on a 240 volt, 100 amp single phase circuit. Therefore I recommend you contact you electric utility and let them figure the voltage drop and the size wire required to safely run this distance. Using too small a wire can damage the electronics at the end of the run.


How many single phase can you run on a 100amp 3 phase?

How to calculate the best wire size to use with a 10-32 UNF-2A thread?

10-32 unf-2a &lt;&lt;&gt;&gt; The wire size does not need to be calculated. Use a wire terminal end that crimps to the wire. These terminal end come in various wire sizes and bolt hole sizes. Pick the correct end for the wire size you are using and then in that wire size range, pick the correct bolt hole size that fits the bolt.
