How many feet of pipe are allowed between pull boxes?
There is no limit in the NEC. This distance is limited by your ability to pull wire the distance needed. If you install 100 feet of pipe, you will need a way to pull wire that distance. If you install 300 feet of pipe, same thing. Fish tapes come in various lengths but can be pricey and rarely used if you buy a long one. There are ways to use a shop vac to suck or blow string in the conduit and for the most part length doesn't matter using this method. If the conduit is large enough and/or the wire big enough you can use this string to pull in a rope with the strength you need.
What size wire for 100 amp panel in detatched garage?
i just left lowes an they told me to run 100 amp to my building i would need wire size 2-2-2-4 alumninum and run it in conduit the lowes around here does not sell copper wire that size
Do you need a mast to run aerial wire from a garage with a 100 amp fuse box to an office trailer?
Yes, it must have a standoff, and the proper service head in. I would run it underground instead of overhead. Use underground wire in a conduit.
What gauge wire required to go 50 feet for a 100 amp service?
AWG # 4 copper.
What is the required wire size for a 230 feet run 480 volt 100 amp?
Depends on length. The more length, the more resistance.
What gauge wire for a 220 volt 60 amp underground in conduit at 100 feet?
Might depend on your local codes, but here it is 6 AWG wire. <<>> A #4 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 2% or less when supplying 60 amps for 100 feet on a 230 volt system.

Suppose it were possible to string a wire around the earth's equator at a constant 100 feet above the earth How much wire would be needed?
Most people get hung up on the diameter of the earth. The diameter of the earth is actually of no consequence since the question asks for how much longer the wire is as a result of moving it 100 feet away from the surface of the earth. What's critical here is that the radius has increased 100 feet. So the change in radius is 100ft since it moved 100 feet further away from the center of the earth. Base don the simple formula circumference = 2 * pi * radius, the wire 100 feet above the earth is about 628 feet (628 = 3.14 * 2 * 100) longer than the wire on the surface of the earth.

What gauge wire do you need for 100 watts over 10 feet?
To answer this question a voltage has to be stated.
How do you calcuate Voltage Drop 100' 10 wire copper 30 amps?
Use the Related Link Website. At the same website check out wire size calculator. You need a #8 wire to get a full 30 load at 100 feet.
What gauge wire 800 watts in 100 feet?
This is a voltage drop question and a voltage needs to be stated.
What gauge wire required to go 50 feet for a 100 amp service?
AWG # 4 copper.
Can you use 4 AWG wire with a 6 AWG ground wire to a sub box 100 feet away?
Yes you can. You did not say how many amps were required.
How many markings should a rigid nonmetallic conduit have?
There will be at lease three and on some conduits additional information. There will be the manufacture's name, type of material the conduit is manufactured from and the diameter size of the conduit. For example Scepter PVC 100 mm (for American customers 4") conduit.
What is the resistance of 100 feet of No 24 wire?
2.567 ohms Calculated using: http://www.cirris.com/learning-center/calculators/133-wire-resistance-calculator-table
