A 500 MCM wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 430.
Most 400 amp services will use parallel wires on each leg to feed the circuit.
A 3/0 wire with an insulation factor of 75 and 90 degrees C is rated at 200 and 225 amps respectively.
The insulation rating of these conductors will be 600 volts.

What wire size is needed for 15 volt circuit?
The wire size depends on how much current it will conduct.
What size USE wire is needed for 200 amps?
As a service entrance wire you need AWG # 3/0 gauge copper.
What size ground wire needed for a 200amp service panel in new jersey?
#6 bare copper wire.
What size wire do you need for a 208 volt 3 phase load that draws 10.5 amps?
The size of conductor needed will be a #14. It should be copper and have an insulation factor of 90 degrees C. The fact that it is a three phase load does not enter into the calculation of the wire size.
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.
What wire size for 70 amp service at 240 volt?
4 copper
What wire size is needed for 15 volt circuit?
The wire size depends on how much current it will conduct.
What wire size needed for 120 volt 3000 watt load?
AWG # 10 wire on 30 amp circuit.
What size service head is needed to power 250 amp 415 volt installation?
If you use 250 or 300 MCM wire you will need a 2 1/2" weather head. If you use 300 MCM wire then you will need a 3" weather head.
How do you run 4 prong 240 volt outlet?
you must run the proper size wire based on the ampacity needed, wire must have four conductors including the gound
What size USE wire is needed for 200 amps?
As a service entrance wire you need AWG # 3/0 gauge copper.
What size ground wire needed for a 200amp service panel in new jersey?
#6 bare copper wire.
What size wire and breaker is needed via 20ft length for a Westonhouse 1500w floodlight?
If it is a 110 volt light it can safely run on a 20 amp circuit with AWG # 12 wire.
What size ground wire is needed for 200amp service pannel in Chicago?
200 amp service in chicago uses 3 aught.
Is a 240-volt service available to a customer who has a two-wire residential service?
Not in the US of A.
What is the wire size needed to feed a 400 amp service with parallel copper?
It depends on the length of the run
What size wire is needed to run a 75 amp 240 volt circuit with 100 ft run?
I would use AWG # 4 copper.
