What size underground feeder wire is needed from a 400 amp breaker to a 125 amp panel box. The total distance is 100 feet?
1/0 <<>> This is a voltage drop question. A voltage and whether it is a single or three phase system must be provided to give an answer.
What wire size for 400 amp service neutral size?
You need to look at the regulations that apply in your country. If in doubt, use a neutral wire of the same size as the live wire or wires.
What type of panel should be used in 3 phase 400 amp?
The type would be a three phase panelboard. If you are carrying the wye neutral into the service, then it would be a three phase four wire distribution panelboard. Regardless of the style used, it would have to have a minimum 400 amp bus.
Can you run 500mcm to feed 480 volt 400 amp service?
500 mcm (or 500kcmil) conductors are used for 400 amp 480v single phase or 3 phase systems. The wire AND THE TERMINALS must be rated for 90o Celsius.
What size wire do you need to run for 30 amp service to travel trailer 400 feet single phase 110 volt?
Presuming that you would like the least expensive installation, the following is calculated on overhead aluminum wire. The wire size needed to hold the voltage drop to 3% would be 3/0 MCM. If the installation could be run on 240 volts then the wire size can be reduced to #2.

How do you obtain a 230 volts single phase supply from a 400 volts three phase four wire supply?
400 volt three phase on a grounded system is 230 volt single phase, with each phase 120 degrees apart. So, if you have a 400 volt, three phase four wire service (grounded service), you can pull one phase off and reference to the neutral for 230 volt service. Note this may not allow 115 volt service, unless there is also a center tap for each phase.
What size service conductors do you need for a single phase 600 amp commercial panel?
The size of wire for service entrance conductors for a 400 amp 3 phase service could be 500 MCM copper. This is very large size wire and difficult to bend and shape, to connect to terminals in the main disconnect and distribution panel. This problem is solved by using parallel conductors or on higher ampacities triple conductors. Using parallel conductors the wire size would be three ought (3/0) copper.
Computation of three phase motor 230 volts 20 hp in what size of wire?
The supply is probably 400 v three-phase with 230 v between each live and neutral. On this assumption the current is 49 amps and the copper cable size is 16 mm2 for a run of up to 30 metres.
Why is 230 volts classed as single phase?
In Europe and other places the standard single-phase supply for houses and small businesses is 230 v which is derived from a 400 v 3-phase 4-wire supply by connecting each customer's circuit between one phase line and the neutral wire.
What type of panel should be used in 3 phase 400 amp?
The type would be a three phase panelboard. If you are carrying the wye neutral into the service, then it would be a three phase four wire distribution panelboard. Regardless of the style used, it would have to have a minimum 400 amp bus.
What wire size for 400 amp service neutral size?
You need to look at the regulations that apply in your country. If in doubt, use a neutral wire of the same size as the live wire or wires.
Can you run 500mcm to feed 480 volt 400 amp service?
500 mcm (or 500kcmil) conductors are used for 400 amp 480v single phase or 3 phase systems. The wire AND THE TERMINALS must be rated for 90o Celsius.
What size wire do you need to run for 30 amp service to travel trailer 400 feet single phase 110 volt?
Presuming that you would like the least expensive installation, the following is calculated on overhead aluminum wire. The wire size needed to hold the voltage drop to 3% would be 3/0 MCM. If the installation could be run on 240 volts then the wire size can be reduced to #2.
How do you connect 400 volts in Singapore?
Singapore uses a 400/230-V three-phase, four-wire, system. 400 V is achieved by connecting a load between any two line conductors.
What size wire needed for 200 amp service 400 feet away direct buried single phase 240 volt 3 wire?
Assuming you are working with 240v, you need 4/0 copper conductors.
How much voltage in three phase line in electric in India. each phase rating 230V?
If the phase voltage is 230 V, then (providing you are describing a three-phase, four-wire, system), then the line voltage will be 1.732 larger -i.e. 400 V.
