What size ground wire for a 400 amp panel in Quebec?
This answer is taken from the CEC. Table 17 states minimum size of grounding conductors. For a service conductor drawing 400 amps a #3 copper grounding conductor is needed. Also see rules 10-206, 10-700 and 10-812 if you have access to the code book.
What size copper grounding electrode conductor is required for a service that has three sets of 600 kc mil copper conductors per phase?
The grounding conductor of a service distribution is sized by the ampacity of the service. By just stating the wire size, this does not give this information, as many variables enter into what wires are used depending on length, ambient temperature and insulation factor to name a few.
What size ground wire for 100a service?
A 100 amp residential service requires a size #8 copper wire, it should be insulated in green.

What is the smallest size of a common grounding electrode conductor installed for multiple separately derived systems?
3/0 awg wire
What size service ground is needed for a 350 parallel service?
From the question it is hard to establish whether the service size is 350 amps or the service conductors are 350 MCM in parallel. If the service is 350 amps, the grounding conductor is #3 bare copper wire. Parallel 350 MCM conductors will allow for a 600 amp service. The grounding conductor for a 600 amp service is a #1 bare copper wire.

If you have a 400 Amp service using 500 MCM What size grounding electrode conductor is required?
#2
Is number 3 copper ground conductor a common conductor size?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.CEC states that a #3 bare copper conductor is a common grounding conductor size for a 200 amp service panel and it is the minium size for service raceway and service equipment of 400 amps.
Can a paralleled grounded conductor be a 2?
A conductor used for grounding of the main service should be a single wire. The code book has a table that states the size of ground wire for different service panel amperages.
What size copper grounding electrode conductor is required for a service that has three sets of 600 kc mil copper conductors per phase?
The grounding conductor of a service distribution is sized by the ampacity of the service. By just stating the wire size, this does not give this information, as many variables enter into what wires are used depending on length, ambient temperature and insulation factor to name a few.
What size wire for 200 amp service with a 60 foot run?
This can't be answered without knowing the voltage, and ground is not the same as neutral, in AC circuits, which I'm assuming this is.
What size ground wire for 100a service?
A 100 amp residential service requires a size #8 copper wire, it should be insulated in green.
How do you size the static discharge wire on a lab table?
Generally a #6 copper conductor will do the job. The key to this grounding is that the ground conductor has to be taken back and connected to the service ground wire for optimal performance.
What size ground on 200 amp service?
In Canada it is a #6 bare copper conductor that connects the grounding rod or plate to the neutral point in the distribution panel.
What size ground wire is needed for 20 amp?
A #14 wire will do fine for grounding a 20 amp device. That is the size of the ground wire in a 2 conductor # 12 wire building cable.
