∙ 8y agoConductor sizing is based on the amperage that the service is rated for. Common size services are 100 and 200 amps. The conductors would be #3 copper and 3/0 copper respectively.

What is the minimum size copper service entrance conductor for 145 amp service?
A #1 copper conductor with an insulation rating of 90 degrees C is rated at 145 amps.
What size wire for 200 amp service with a 60 foot run?
This can't be answered without knowing the voltage, and ground is not the same as neutral, in AC circuits, which I'm assuming this is.
Can a paralleled grounded conductor be a 2?
A conductor used for grounding of the main service should be a single wire. The code book has a table that states the size of ground wire for different service panel amperages.
What size service ground is needed for a 350 parallel service?
From the question it is hard to establish whether the service size is 350 amps or the service conductors are 350 MCM in parallel. If the service is 350 amps, the grounding conductor is #3 bare copper wire. Parallel 350 MCM conductors will allow for a 600 amp service. The grounding conductor for a 600 amp service is a #1 bare copper wire.
If you have a 400 Amp service using 500 MCM What size grounding electrode conductor is required?
#2
What is the minimum size copper service entrance conductor for 145 amp service?
A #1 copper conductor with an insulation rating of 90 degrees C is rated at 145 amps.
What size ground wire for a 400 amp panel in Quebec?
This answer is taken from the CEC. Table 17 states minimum size of grounding conductors. For a service conductor drawing 400 amps a #3 copper grounding conductor is needed. Also see rules 10-206, 10-700 and 10-812 if you have access to the code book.
What size ground wire for 100a service?
A 100 amp residential service requires a size #8 copper wire, it should be insulated in green.
What size wire for 200 amp service with a 60 foot run?
This can't be answered without knowing the voltage, and ground is not the same as neutral, in AC circuits, which I'm assuming this is.
Is number 3 copper ground conductor a common conductor size?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.CEC states that a #3 bare copper conductor is a common grounding conductor size for a 200 amp service panel and it is the minium size for service raceway and service equipment of 400 amps.
What is the minimum size neutral for three sets of parallel 500kcm copper conductors for a service?
On large service entrance services the neutral can be reduced. The amperage of the service and the voltage of the service and the insulation factor of the 500 MCM conductors need to be stated to answer this question correctly.
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 wire size is needed to ground a 300 amp service panel in USA?
Notes: 1. Where multiple sets of service-entrance conductors are used as permitted in Section 230-40, Exception No. 2, the equivalent size of the largest service-entrance conductor shall be determined by the largest sum of the areas of the corresponding conductors of each set. 2. Where there are no service-entrance conductors, the grounding electrode conductor size shall be determined by the equivalent size of the largest service-entrance conductor required for the load to be served. 1 This table also applies to the derived conductors of separately derived ac systems. 2 See installation restrictions in Section 250-64(a).
What size grounding conductor is needed for a 80 amp service?
For service sizes of 100 amps and less a #8 bare copper conductor is required.
What size aluminum entrance cable for 100 Amp service?
2 AWG Aluminum.
What is the minimum size alluminum ground for a 200A service?
250 mcm
What size wire do you need for a 150 amp breaker?
A #6 copper ground conductor would be needed.
