What size wire will carry 55 amps 75 feet?
AWG # 6 copper
What wire size to carry 30 amps 100 ft?
AWG-8 wire can safely carry 30 amps to a load 100 feet away.
What size wire will carry 200 amps 150 feet?
Use 2/0 AWG.
What size wire is needed to carry 100 amps 100 feet?
#6 wire stranded
What size of aluminum wire is needed for 200 amps at 100 feet?
Please use the Discussion Area to explain the significance of the "100 feet".
What size aluminum wire for 100 amps undergroundservice 60 feet from meter?
you would use #2 aluminum urd wire for a 100 amp service
What size wire will carry 100 amps 200 feet?
This is a voltage drop question and a voltage needs to be stated.
List out the current carrying capacities of electrical cables?
This depends on whether the wire is copper or aluminum. In aluminum, you need to go UP one wire size to carry the same amount of electricity, because copper is a better conductor than aluminum. The normal ratings are as follows for the most common wire sizes in houses Copper 14 gauge=15 amps 12 gauge=20 amps 10 gauge=30 amps 8 gauge= 40 amps 6 gauge= 50 amps and so on. it goes all the way to a 2/0 which will carry 200amps In aluminum you step up a size, as in 12 gauge= 15 amp 10 gauge=20 amps and it would take a size 4/0 aluminum to rate at 200 amps, which is pretty much the standard household amperage requirement in most places in the US
What size wire to carry 8 amps at 120 volts?
A # 14 copper conductor will be fine to carry 8 amps at 120 volts. This size conductor is rated at 15 amps.
What size of aluminum wire for 150 amps underground service for 150 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.
What size wire to you need to carry 50 amps 120v 600 feet?
A 300 MCM copper conductor, with a voltage drop of 3%, is needed when supplying 50 amps for 600 feet on a 120 volt system.
What size wire will carry 52 amps - the service is 8 feet away?
A #6 copper wire with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degree C is rated at 65 amps.
