Best Answer

There are two main options. A triple run or a quad run in parallel.

For a triple run, a 700 MCM copper conductor with an insulation rating of 90 degrees C is rated at 520 amps.

For a quad run, a 400 MCM copper conductor with an insulation rating of 90 degrees C is rated at 380 amps.

Do you need to change the wire size going from 100 amp service to 150 amp service?

Yes, the wire size has to be increased. The existing 100 amp service will now probably have a #3 conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C which is rated for 100 and 105 amps respectively. Increasing to a 150 amp service will use a #1/0 wire size. If you are thinking of an upgrade, skip the 150 amp service and go to a 200 amp panel. New homes are installing 200 amp 42 circuit panels. The extra cost is only reflected in the materials as the labour costs will be the same regardless whether a 150 amp or a 200 amp panel is installed. The wire size for a 200 amp panel is #3/0. With an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C the rating is 200 or 210 amps respectively.
