If you have 200 amp in house you want to run off that to garage what size panel wire etc?
To run power from a 200 amp panel in your house to a garage, you would typically use a 100 amp subpanel in the garage. You would need to run at least 3-wire #2 copper or 1/0 aluminum cable from the main panel to the subpanel. It's recommended to consult an electrician to ensure proper sizing and compliance with local electrical codes.
Can you tap off of a 200 amp service for 2 100 amp panels?
Yes, but at every reduction in wire size there has to be a breaker sized to the smaller wire size. The wire size for 100 amp panels is recommended at #3 copper conductor. From the 200 amp feeder panel you will require a 100 amp two pole breaker for each of the two 100 amp services. Keep in mind that if you run the 100 amp services close to maximum this will take away the capacity of the 200 amp service for other branch circuits coming off of it. Also keep in mind that if the panels are located, not in the same building as the 200 amp service that the 100 amp panels will be treated as separate services and will have to be constructed like a 100 amp service. This includes ground rods. Also the bonding screw will have to be removed that connects the neutral buss to the panel enclosure.

Can you run an additional breaker panel parallel to the existing one?
It is generally not recommended to run an additional breaker panel in parallel with an existing one. This can create potential safety hazards, overload circuits, and violate electrical codes. It is best to consult with a licensed electrician to properly assess the situation and determine the best course of action.

Can you use a 160 amp car alternator to run a 100 amp inverter?
160 amps is more than ample to run a 100 amp inverter.. what you need to look at is the required input amperage of the inverter and compare that to what's present in the circuit it's wired/plugged into. In most cases, you should be able to run up to a 400 amp inverter plugged into a 12v outlet, but again, you need to make sure.

You want to run power from your home you have a 200 amp in the house to a garage that you recently built you have 110 and 220 outlets The only 220 you plan on running is a small air compressor What?
You will need to install a subpanel in the garage with a capacity of at least 60 amps. This subpanel can be fed from the main panel in the house using appropriate gauge wires. Ensure that the 220V outlet for the air compressor is connected to the subpanel. The 110V outlets can be connected to the subpanel as well, distributing power as needed.
