What size aluminum wire for a 220v 200a service in conduit undrreground at 180 ft?
250 MCM aluminum minimum
What size conduit for 200 amp service?
50 mm or 2 inch will handle the 3/0 wires for a 200 amp service.
How is wire pulled into a conduit of 100 feet?
A 100 foot fish tape and wire lubrication will be needed to make this wire pull.
What size USE wire is needed for 200 amps?
As a service entrance wire you need AWG # 3/0 gauge copper.
What size ground wire needed for a 200amp service panel in new jersey?
#6 bare copper wire.
What size grounding wire do you use as the 4th wire running in your conduit from your 200 amp meter box to your 200amp service panel this is the ground wire from box to box?
You do not use a ground wire in the connection from the meter base to the distribution panel. A bonding wire may be required if the service is using PVC conduit.

When do you derate wires in conduit I know the code says more than 3 current carrying conductors but is there a length of conduit run when you should start to derate?
There are two things here to keep in mind. If you are trying to add more conductors to an existing conduit run use the cross sectional area of the conduit to see if more wires can be fitted. The second thing that's relates to length is the voltage drop at the load. To size the conduit work backwards from the load amperage to size the wires. If a long distance is involved a voltage drop calculation will be needed. Then select the conduit size to accommodate the wires recommended for that load amperage. The length of conduit run is not brought into the equation on de rating wire size it is always about keeping the voltage up at the load end of the run by increasing the wire size and selecting the proper conduit size for that wire.
What size conduit for 400amps?
The sizing of conduit systems that wire has to be pulled into is dependant on the physical size of the conductor being drawn into the conduit. The second governing factor is the conductor count of the specific conductor that is needed. A 500 MCM copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 430 amps. This is where the conductor count is need by the service, as to whether the service is single or three phase. In this specific case, the electrical code will allow both single and three phase installations to use the same size conduit. A maximum total of four 500 MCM conductors can be drawn into a 78 mm diameter conduit.

What size conduit is correct for 10-3 gauge wire?
You can pull 10 #3 gauge wires in a 2 1/2" conduit.
What size ground wire is needed for 200amp service pannel in Chicago?
200 amp service in chicago uses 3 aught.
What size conduit for 3 500 mcm wires?
The required size of a conduit raceway for a 3-5000 mcm wire is 300 kcmil. It maximizes the limits on the wire fill for raceways.
What is the wire size needed to feed a 400 amp service with parallel copper?
It depends on the length of the run
