2 AWG Aluminum.
For Service Entrance Cable 600 kcmill (Thousands of circular mils).
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.It is not a recommended procedure. Depending on what size service entrance cable it is the wire size will be too large to fit into the breaker and range lugs. Cutting strands off of a larger size wire to fit into the lugs is not acceptable. If this is new construction then the electrical inspector will reject the installation for not using the properly sized cable to feed the range. Use the proper size cable and feel free that there is not going to be any problems further on. The wire should be 3 conductor #8 fed from a two pole 40 amp breaker.
For a 150 amp service, the recommended cable size is typically 1 AWG copper or 2 AWG aluminum, assuming standard installation conditions. This sizing ensures the cable can safely handle the current without excessive voltage drop or overheating. Always consult local electrical codes and regulations, as they may have specific requirements that need to be followed.
250 MCM aluminum minimum
Service entrance wire should be AWG #3 copper.
The recommended cable size for a 200 amp service entrance is typically 2/0 AWG copper or 4/0 AWG aluminum.
The recommended size for a 100 amp service entrance cable is typically 2 AWG copper or 1/0 AWG aluminum.

2 AWG Aluminum.
For a 150 amp service entrance cable, you would typically use 2/0 AWG (American Wire Gauge) copper or 4/0 AWG aluminum cable. This size provides the necessary capacity to handle the electrical load of a 150 amp service. It's recommended to consult with a licensed electrician for specific guidance based on your local electrical code requirements.
A #14 copper conductor is rated at 15 amps.
For a 200 amp service, you would typically need a service cable with a minimum size of 2/0 AWG copper or 4/0 AWG aluminum to safely handle the current. It's important to check local building codes and consult with a licensed electrician to ensure compliance and safety.
The recommended aluminum wire size for a 200 amp service is typically 2/0 AWG.
The recommended wire size for a 100 amp aluminum service is typically 2 AWG (American Wire Gauge).

A size 3/0 AWG copper main bonding jumper is typically required for service entrance conductors rated at 250 kcmil copper. This is based on NEC requirements for sizing the main bonding jumper to be at least 1/10th the circular mil area of the largest service entrance conductor.
