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.
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.
Use AWG #6 wire.
The minimum wire size for a 30Amp breaker is typically 10 AWG for copper wire and 8 AWG for aluminum wire, according to the National Electrical Code (NEC). This wire size is necessary to safely carry the amount of current without overheating.

A conduit and wire size chart provides information on the recommended wire sizes to use with different types and sizes of conduits. It helps determine the appropriate wire gauge for a specific conduit size to ensure safe and efficient electrical installations.
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.
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.
Use AWG #10 wire on a 20 amp breaker.
For a 50 amp breaker, you should use a wire size of at least 6 AWG for copper or 4 AWG for aluminum conductors to ensure the wire can handle the current safely and meet safety codes and standards. It is important to consult the local electrical code requirements and consider factors such as wire length and insulation type when selecting the appropriate wire size.
