What size wire needed for 100 amp service 700 feet away?

A 400 MCM copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 100 amps for 700 feet on a 240 volt system. This size will allow the conductor to be loaded to 80 amps. 100 x 80% = 80 amps. Conductors are only allowed to be loaded to 80% or their rated capacity. If you need the full 100 amps then you would need to use a wire with a rating of 125 amps. 125 x 80% = 100 amps. A 600 MCM copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 125 amps for 700 feet on a 240 volt system.


How many amps will 2-2-2-4 carry at 180 feet?

150 amps


How many amps can 16 gauge wire carry at 120 vac at 25 feet?

18 amps.


What size wire to carry 30 amps 75 feet?

This is a voltage drop question. To answer the question about distance a voltage must be stated. That said a #10 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C are both rated at 30 amps.


Can a 14 AWG solid copper wire that's 15 feet long carry a load of 40 amps?

No, a #14 conductor is only rated for 15 amps. If the wire insulation is rated for 90 degrees C and is connected to a 90 degree rated circuit breaker the ampacity can be raised to 25 amps.


How many amps will 14 gauge wire carry at 200ft?

A #14 copper wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 15 amps. To answer your question for voltage drop at 200 feet a voltage needs to be stated. Assuming the voltage of 120 is used to maintain 15 amps at the distance of 200 feet a #6 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to less that 3 percent. Assuming the voltage of 240 is used to maintain 15 amps at the distance of 200 feet a #10 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to less that 3 percent.


How many amps will 10-2 wire carry at 100 feet?

A #16 copper conductor is not a wiring size that is used in homes. This is because the smallest breaker for residential use is rated for 15 amps. A #16 copper conductor is only rated at 13 amps. For a load of 13 amps over 100 feet a #12 copper would be required.


What size aluminum wire needed for 30 amp at 240 volt for 500 feet underground?

A 1/0 aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 30 amps for 500 feet on a 240 volt system.


What size wire will carry 55 amps 75 feet?

AWG # 6 copper


What gauge wire for 208 volt 95 amp 200 ft?

A #1 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 95 amps for 200 feet on a 208 volt system. This size will allow the conductor to be loaded to 76 amps. 95 x 80% = 76 amps Conductors are only allowed to be loaded to 80% or their rated capacity. If you need the full 95 amps then you would need to use a wire with a rating of 120 amps. 120 x 80% = 96 amps. A 1/0 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 120 amps for 200 feet on a 208 volt system.


What wire size will carry 50 amps 200 ft 110 voltage?

Because of voltage drop, 4 awg copper would be recommended for that distance run. <<>> A #1 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 50 amps for 200 feet on a 110 volt system.


What size wire is needed for a 150 foot 350amp 208V 3phase circuit?

A 500 MCM copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 350 amps for 150 feet on a 208 volt system.
