Using AWG # 3/0 copper wire you will have a voltage drop of around 3.8% at 68 degrees Fahrenheit. This should be acceptable to your local inspector but you may want to call them and make sure.

How do you complete a sentence that begins with 'Electrical wire sheathing should not'?
Electrical wire sheathing should not project more than about one inch into the electric panel.
How and where do you connect the white wire from the shunt breake to the electrical panel?
The white wire would go to the neutral bar. Just be sure of the shunt trip voltage required for the breaker and land the white wire on the appropriate neutral bar in the correct panel.
What gage wire is needed for a 35 amp ac?
Use 8 gauge wire.
Into what should electrical wire sheathing project no more than about an inch?
The electric panel is something into which electrical wire sheathing shouldn't project more than about an inch. There are recommended guidelines, and non recommended actions, in electrical work. This is such a case, of recommended actions regarding sheathings and panels.
What happens if you touch an exposed electrical wire?
If the wire is carrying an electrical current, and if the current has enough voltage, the current can leave the wire and pass through your body. This is painful, and can causes burns or death.
How could you get more than one electrical circuit in the garage?
Run another wire from the electrical panel.
In a typical electrical panel installation the main ground wire is connected directly from a ground rod driven into the ground to the?
The ground wire should come from the ground rod and to the main electrical panel grounding terminal.
How do you complete a sentence that begins with 'Electrical wire sheathing should not'?
Electrical wire sheathing should not project more than about one inch into the electric panel.
Why current carrying wires become hot?
Current carrying wires become hot due to resistance in the wire. As electric current flows through the wire, resistance causes some of the electrical energy to be converted into heat. This heat energy accumulates over time, causing the wire to become hot.
Electrical wire sheathing should not project more than1 inch into what A floor joist B electric panel C ground D plumbing line?
B. Electrical panel
What size wire for booster cables?
I recommend no smaller than 8 gage wire. 6 gage or 4 gage if you want a professional type cable. The bigger the wire the better, but the more it weighs. 8 gage is sufficient for most people.
Into what should the electrical wire sheath not project more than one inch?
electric panel
What can a loosely connected electrical wire in a breaker panel cause?
A short, which will trip the main breaker.
Which type of wires used in electrical works?
Electrical wire is the type of wire that is used in electrical equipment. To strip the wires, you need to use wire strippers. There is also special tape called electrical tape that is used to secure the wire.

You need a Fish Tape and some wire lube.
How do you disable the alarm on a 1991 Jeep Cherokee?
You need to locate the green/orange wire on the drivers side kick panel. Upon retreval splice into it with same gage wire and ground this wire end to the chassis. This should kill the alarm but not the cars ability to run. If car still wont run check the crank sensor.
In a typical home electrical panel installation the main ground wire is connected directly from a ground rod driven into ground to the 1 case of the panel or 2 main breaker switch or 3 l?
The main ground wire in a typical home electrical panel installation is usually connected directly from a ground rod driven into the ground to the case of the panel. This helps to ensure that the panel is properly grounded to prevent electrical shocks and provide a safe path for electricity to follow in case of a fault.
