Can you run an additional breaker panel parallel to the existing one?

It is not in parallel. You put a breaker in existing panel and use that to feed the subpanel. The Amperage of this subfeed breaker should match the rating of the new panel. For example a 100A breaker might be typical. Remember that ground and neutral are only "bonded" at the main panel. Usually a subpanel has a means to separate the neutral and ground in a subpanel. Be careful since everything about doing this is dangerous.Another AnswerYes, you can have two breaker panels in parallel. If you had a 100 amp panel on a 200 amp service (or increase the size of the service, check with your power company on the size of your service, you could add a second 100 amp panel in parallel with the first. You can have up to 6 disconnects per service, but they must be located adjacent to each other or in the same enclosure. So either install the second panel beside the first or a 100 amp disconnect beside the first panel and feed out of the disconnect to the new panel located where you need it.

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.


What wire size do you need for a 3phase 90amp 60hz 220v?

Wire size is based on the amperage capacity of the service it is feeding. You tell me the service amps and I can tell you the wire size.


What size breaker is needed for a 220 v hot water heater?

What size wire is needed for 400 amp 480 volt service?

A 500 MCM wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 430. Most 400 amp services will use parallel wires on each leg to feed the circuit. A 3/0 wire with an insulation factor of 75 and 90 degrees C is rated at 200 and 225 amps respectively. The insulation rating of these conductors will be 600 volts.
