The number of amps that can be safely carried by a 2 AWG aluminum wire typically ranges from 90 to 115 amps, depending on factors like the installation environment and insulation type. It's important to refer to the National Electrical Code (NEC) or consult with a professional electrician to determine the appropriate ampacity for your specific application. Always consider local codes and regulations when planning electrical installations.
Aluminum 4/0 wire car carry 180 amps at at 75 degrees Fahrenheit or 205 amps at 90 degrees. .
For a 100 Amp breaker panel it would be 2 AWG. For 150 Amps it would require 2/0 (2 ought) aluminum wire.
If you mean 2/0 copper wire it is rated 175 amps. # 2 wire is 115 amps. If you are referring to 2.0 metric it is rated 15 amps.
10 amps
A 3/0 aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 150 amps for 150 feet on a 240 volt system. This size will allow the conductor to be loaded to 120 amps. 150 x 80% = 120 Conductors are only allowed to be loaded to 80% or their rated capacity. If you need the full 150 amps then you would need to use a wire with a rating of 190 amps. 190 x 80% = 152 amps A 4/0 aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 190 amps for 150 feet on a 240 volt system.

For a 100 Amp breaker panel it would be 2 AWG. For 150 Amps it would require 2/0 (2 ought) aluminum wire.
A 4-gauge aluminum wire can typically carry up to 70-85 amps of current for general household wiring applications. It is important to always consult with local electrical codes and a professional electrician to ensure safe and compliant electrical installations.
If you mean 2/0 copper wire it is rated 175 amps. # 2 wire is 115 amps. If you are referring to 2.0 metric it is rated 15 amps.
2 amps mili means 1,000
A 2000 MCM aluminum conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 650 amps. Parallel 500 MCM aluminum conductors with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C have the capacity of 2 x 330 = 660 amps. Triple 250 MCM aluminum conductors with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C have the capacity of 3 x 215 = 645 amps.
