8 AWG copper is rated for 40 amps. Over 150 ft, at maximum current, the voltage drop would be about 3.76 volts. Using 6 AWG would have a voltage drop of 2.36 volts with the same 40 amps.
Depends on the size of the sub-panel in that garage. If you are installing a 60 amp sub-panel 400 feet away from the main service panel then use AWG # 4.
For a 100 amp main panel located 100 feet away, it is recommended to use a 2/0 copper or 4/0 aluminum service cable to ensure proper voltage drop and capacity for the distance. Consult with a licensed electrician to determine the specific requirements based on local codes and conditions.
For that distance I would run AWG # 3 copper and install a sub-panel.
For a 60 amp sub panel located 100 feet away, it is recommended to use a 6-gauge wire size to ensure proper electrical conductivity and safety.
Windows that can be opened.
CEC - any window that has the capacity to be opened.The exterior electrical service wires should be at least 3 feet away from any part of any window that is able to be opened.
Yes, as long as it has the necessary ampacity for the load and is properly fastened at each terminal. For example, we have a 4/0 aluminum cable feeding our 200 A subpanel 120 feet away.
Are you asking about home electrical service? sevrice entrance cables need to be three feet away from a window
Re Question with the voltage that you will be using.
AWG 2/0 copper.
This is one of those questions that has a lot of answers! In a residence I would want it as short as possible, however you can legally run it 10 feet, if you use steel flex or metallic liquid tite in your raceway system the maximum length of the flex can only be 6 feet with the remaining 4 feet of conduit. Inspectors in some areas like for the service panel located in the first stud bay available nearest the service entrance, this usually keeps the conduit and wire length to a minimum.
it is the plastic panel to the left of your feet on the drivers side and to right side of your feet on the passengerside.
