A 1/0 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 and 90 degrees C is rated at 150 and 155 amps respectively. Any size larger that 1/0 can be used but no conductor smaller that 1/0 will be approved for connection.

What size Aluminum wire is used for ground in breaker box?
For a 100 Amp breaker panel it would be 2 AWG. For 150 Amps it would require 2/0 (2 ought) aluminum wire.
How many circuits allowed in a 150 amp panel?
Panels are different. You can get 150 amp panels with 20 to 30 breaker spaces. The limit is stated by the manufacturer on a label attached to the panel. Hopefully you an find the label, sometimes it is on the inside of the cover
What size wire do you need for a 150 amp breaker?
A #6 copper ground conductor would be needed.
Do you need to change the wire size going from 100 amp service to 150 amp service?
Yes, the wire size has to be increased. The existing 100 amp service will now probably have a #3 conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C which is rated for 100 and 105 amps respectively. Increasing to a 150 amp service will use a #1/0 wire size. If you are thinking of an upgrade, skip the 150 amp service and go to a 200 amp panel. New homes are installing 200 amp 42 circuit panels. The extra cost is only reflected in the materials as the labour costs will be the same regardless whether a 150 amp or a 200 amp panel is installed. The wire size for a 200 amp panel is #3/0. With an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C the rating is 200 or 210 amps respectively.
What size aluminum wire for 100 amps undergroundservice 60 feet from meter?
A 3/0 aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 150 amps for 150 feet on a 240 volt system. This size will allow the conductor to be loaded to 120 amps. 150 x 80% = 120 Conductors are only allowed to be loaded to 80% or their rated capacity. If you need the full 150 amps then you would need to use a wire with a rating of 190 amps. 190 x 80% = 152 amps A 4/0 aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 190 amps for 150 feet on a 240 volt system.

How do you find out how big your main breaker box is?
Simple. Your main electrical panel will have a "main breaker". This will be a two pole breaker, usually at the top of the panel. It will have a number on the breaker "handle" such as 150 or 200. This is the maximum number of amps your panel can supply. Most newer homes, 1975 and newer have a 200 amp service.
What is the Largest amperage single phase 120 volt breaker made?
6000amps <<>> The above answer must have big lugs to accommodate 6000 amp capacity wire. In my breaker catalogue the largest 120 volt single pole breaker is 70 amps, 277 volt single pole is 150 amps and 347 volt single pole is 100 amps. The 120 volt single pole breaker occupies two opposed slots because of its length.
What size wire would you need for 150 amp breaker?
# 1 awg if in Canada not sure about us codes

What size wire do you need for a 150 amp breaker?
A #6 copper ground conductor would be needed.
What size pipe for a 150 amp 3 phase sub panel?
1" 1/2 EMT for 1/0 copper wire, or 2" for 3/0 Alum wire or copper clad Alum.
What gauge wire neede to run 200 amp sub panel 210 feet from main?
#8 Wire for a 40 amp circuit... <<>> A three conductor#6 copper cable will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 40 amps for 150 feet on a 240 volt system. Using a three wire you can put each 20 amp breaker on each "hot" wire and use a common neutral.
Do you need to change the wire size going from 100 amp service to 150 amp service?

The existing 100 amp service will now probably have a #3 conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C which is rated for 100 and 105 amps respectively.

What size wire do i need to feed a single phase V primary and a V secondary fed from a 150 amp circuit breaker?
Information is incomplete. You need to know the load in Watt or Kilowatt and the voltage on the secondary side to determine the load current, on which the size of the wire is designed.
Can you install a 150 amp meter base and still have a 100 amp main panel?
The wire size in a meter stack is governed by the size of the first over current device.
How do you put a serpentine belt in 1998 ford econoline 150?
use a socket and breaker bar on the idler wheel to remove slack. remove old belt, follow diagram on panel or hood to install new belt
