What gauge wire to use for a sub panel?

That would depend upon how many amps will be used in the sub-panel. For example, a 30-A subpanel would need a minimum of 10 AWG feeder conductors.


What is difference between to busbar and feeder?

The busbar is used as a conductor and is used as a connection between the parallel and the feeder. The feeder is the supply, and it handles the relays.


What size generator for 200 amp service?

Usually generators are not sized for the entire house load. At 200 Amps and 240 volts that would be a 48 KW generator. You can get by with less by just creating a transfer electric panel with critical circuits. You can probably get by with a 20 KW generator.


Can you put a 60amp breaker and a 50amp breaker on a 60amp subpanel just as long as they are not being used at the same time?

You can. Using these size breakers in a 60 amp sub panel might be pushing the limit for breaking the sub panels feeder breaker. The breaker feeding the sub panel will have to be no bigger than 60 amps because of the main bus bar capacity of the sub panel. It would be better to install a 100 amp sub panel and then there would be a bit of a buffer and you will have the ability to add additional small load circuits.


Do you need a main disconnect on the feeder wires running to a detached garage running from the box in the house?

Yes you do. The detached garage will either be fed with a single circuit or a sub panel. The wire feeding the garage will need to be protected and that is the purpose of the breaker (disconnect). The breaker size will be determined by the size of the wire that is used on this circuit.

What is a bull feeder?

A bull feeder is a feeder that is used for bulls to eat out of, like a trough or feed bunk.


What is different between feeder breaker and motor breaker?

You have to be careful with terms in the electrical field, Example: Main Feeder Circuits will feed a Transformer for distribution and each of those main circuits might feed numbeous Motor control centers. However each of those circuits could be called a main feeder for the motor control center. Confusing. We have High Voltage Transmittion tansformered down for Distribution. So normally a Feeder Breaker will feed Main circuits that will be used for distribution. Example Your home panel will have a main feeder circuit to the whole panel and distribution breakers to you home.


What is ht panel?

An HT panel, or High Tension panel, is an electrical distribution board that receives power from a transformer or generator at high voltage and then distributes it to various industrial equipment at lower voltages. It is commonly used in industries to manage the flow of electricity safely and efficiently.


Can you attach a generator to your sub panel and back feed your house main panel I have a 125 amp breaker in the main that feeds the sub through 2 aught wire?

Yes but it has to be a synchronous generator like the ones used on the grid, and it has to be run up and phased before being connected. That is because all the generators on a grid run at the same speed and phase (the phase of an individual generator alters a little depending on the power flow from it).


What size wire should be used to connect a 60A output from a generator to the distribution panel?

For a 60A output from a generator to a distribution panel, you would typically use a 6-gauge wire for copper or a 4-gauge wire for aluminum. Make sure to also check local electrical codes and guidelines to ensure correct sizing and safety compliance.


Service entrance cable underground feeder branch circuit cable mineral insulated cable jacketed cable?

These are different types of electrical cables used for various applications. Service entrance cable is used to connect the utility power to a building's main electrical panel. Underground feeder branch circuit cable is used for underground wiring between buildings or from the main panel to subpanels. Mineral insulated cable is a type of fire-resistant cable used in high-temperature environments. Jacketed cable refers to any cable with an outer protective covering for mechanical and environmental protection.
