A 100 amp service requires that you use AWG 4 copper wire or AWG 2 aluminum wire.
50 mm or 2 inch will handle the 3/0 wires for a 200 amp service.
i just left lowes an they told me to run 100 amp to my building i would need wire size 2-2-2-4 alumninum and run it in conduit the lowes around here does not sell copper wire that size
The size breaker you use is determined by the size wire used in the circuit. If you use AWG #12/2 wire then use a 20 amp breaker. If you use AWG # 14/2 then use a 15 amp breaker.
Use a 20 amp fuse or breaker.
AWG # 10 wire.

Use AWG #6 wire.
Use only AWG # 10 copper.

Depends on the wire size used in the circuit. If you use AWG # 14 wire you must use a 15 amp breaker. If it is wired with AWG # 12 wire then you use a 20 amp breaker. If a AWG # 10 wire is used then a 30 amp breaker is required. The breaker protects the wiring from overheating so you must use the proper size breaker for the wire used.
Yes. It is abbreviated as AWG. For example, in residential wiring the size wire to use on a 15 Amp circuit would be 14 gauge or 14 AWG.
You use the correct size breaker depending on the size wire in the circuit. If the circuit is wired with AWG #12 wire use a 20 amp breaker. If it is wired with AWG #14 wire then use a 15 amp breaker.
