How much money to conver a 100 amp house to handle 350 amp input?
A 350 amp service is not a standard service distribution. It jumps from a 200 to a 400 amp rated distribution equipment. The only way to obtain a 350 size service is to install 400 amp equipment and fuse it at 350 amps. The standard size home distributions in North America today are rated at 200 amps. The cost of the service differs through out the continent. Ask your local electrical contractor for an estimate on an electrical upgrade to the required service that you want.
Can you replace your old 60 amp service panel box with a new 60 amp panel box?
Most jurisdictions will no longer allow the installation of 60 amp main service panels. If you are doing a repair, and a simple replacement MIGHT be considered a repair, you might get away with replacing one with the other. But if you have the time, money, and/or you KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING, I suggest you upgrade the service to at least 100 amps. Even in small homes the typical installation is now 125 amps. And if the home is all electric, typical installation is 200amps. Replacing a service panel can be very dangerous. Do this ONLY if you know what you are doing and how to protect yourself from injury. If you are guessing, DO NOT DO THIS TASK.
What size aluminum wire to feed 125 Amps 220 volt a distance of 175' and what size ground?
A 3/0 aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to3% or less when supplying 125 amps for 175 feet on a 220 volt system. If the 125 amp load is a sub distribution panel that is not going to be fully loaded to 125 amps then using the exact connected load, which might be smaller than 125 amps will effect the wire sizing. The grounding conductor for that size distribution panel is #6 bare copper.
What size grounding conductor is needed for a 80 amp service?
For service sizes of 100 amps and less a #8 bare copper conductor is required.
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.
Can you hook up 200 amp dervice to a 125 amp service panel?
No, it is not safe or recommended to connect a 200 amp service to a 125 amp panel. The panel must be rated to match the amperage of the service to avoid overloading the panel and potential fire hazards. It is important to upgrade the panel to match the service amperage.
How many amps does a 100 amp service supply?
A 100 amp service will supply your electrical current needs UP TO 100 amps.When doing load calculations on a 100 amp panel it can only be loaded up to 80 amps.
Can you replace a 7 amp 125 volt power cord with a 3 amp 125 volt power cord?
If the device you are powering requires 7 amps of power, then no. You will need to find a replacement cord with 7 amps. Check the power input requirements of the device to find out.
How many breaker amps will a 200 amp service with no main breaker support?
Check the nameplate on the service panel. There it will tell you what the buss capacity is. On a 200 amp service nothing in the wiring configuration is allowed to be less than that the service rating. In the market there are 200 amp 42 circuit distribution panels.
Is 15 amp of 125 ac volt is equal to 15 amp 12 dc volt?
No. At 125 volts, the same 15 amp current results in 10 times as much power. Ohm's Law states that amps x volts = power.
What is type of breaker for 41 amp's?
For a 41 amp load, you would typically use a 50 amp circuit breaker. The general rule is to select a breaker size that is 125% of the continuous load amps or equal to the load amps if it is not a continuous load. In this case, 41 amps is considered a continuous load, so you would round up to the nearest available breaker size, which is 50 amps.
How many nanoamps in one amp?
1000,000,000 nano-amps = 1 amp
If I have 150ft of 10 gauge wire with 60 amp service how many amps and watts do I have available at the end of the line?
10 gauge wire will only run up to 30 amps
Will a 7000 starting amps and 10500 running amps run a 78 amp furnace?
In the electrical trade the only time there is a reference to start and running amps is when dealing with motors. The running amps is always lower than the starting amps. A 78 amp electric furnace will take a 100 amp service for it to operate and be within the electrical code guide lines.
How many amps normally are supplied from the pole to any given home in okc?
A 200 amp service panel is average for the entire U.S.
How many amps is the new 2013 coachmen rv catalina santara series 272dbs travel trailers?
30-Amp Electrical Service
What is the maxiam capacity for 400amp service?
The maximum capacity for a 400 amp service is typically 400 amps. This means the service can supply up to 400 amps of electrical current to a building or property. It is important to ensure that the electrical system and components are designed to handle this capacity safely.
