I would recommend 1/0 just to be sure you have very little line loss.

It depends on whether the 100 amp panel is rated at 100% or 80% loading.
If the panel is only rated for 100% loading, meaning that a full 100 amps can be drawn from it, the wire size will be #2 copper conductor which is rated at 130 amps. The feeder can only be loaded to 80 present so will have a working amperage of 130 x .8 = 104 amps.
If the panel is only rated at 80 percent loading then a #3 copper conductor can be used. A #3 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 115 amps. 115 x .8 = 92 amps.
A #10 copper wire with an insulation factor of 90 degree C and a voltage rating of 300 volts has an ampacity of 30 amps.
A 100 amp residential panel requires that you use AWG # 3 service entrance wire.

How do you rewire a 110v RV generator ONAN to produce 220v for backup power for your house?
yes you can use. but you need to install 110v to 220 volt step up transformer . It depends on the generator. Some are 120 only. Need full model and serial number to help you.
You ran power from your house to your shop about a year ago The problem you are having is one of the bus legs in your shop panel box is not hot so every other 20 amp breaker is not hot on that leg?
Sounds as though you only ran a 110 volt power supply to your new shop subpanel. You need to supply 220V with a neutral and ground from your main panel to your subpanel. The 220 supply needs to come from a two pole 220V circuit breaker in your main panel. (example 50 or 100 Amp) Then, most importantly, you must use the correct size wire to carry the current. That is the wire must be sized correctly to the 220V breaker. The neutral must also be the same size as the conductors. Once you determine how much power you need in your shop, size the supply 220v circuit breaker and wire accordingly. Check with your local building department if you are unsure or what size wire to use with what size breaker or refer to Table 310-16 in the National Electric Code. In Australia domestic power is 240v So you have run single phase power to a three phase switchboard. To get power to those breakers you must hook the active to the busbar connected to those circuit breakers.
How much power can you run on 2.5mm cable?
When you say "Power" you're talking overall wattage. But, what you need to find is the current limit for that gauge cable, which is everywhere on the internet. Try the NEC Section 300
Considering 100A 240V service has 2 poles at 100A each is the total usable power actually 200A at 120V?
No, amperage is not additive, but a constant. Think of power as water, its always the same temperature, hot (amps). The pressure is variable (volts). The true answer is undoubtedly more complex, but you get the point. If you need to draw 200 amps you would actually need a 400 amp service because code states you cannot have more than an 80% load on a breaker That's an interesting question and I had to run the theory through my brain a few times to confirm my answer. The answer is if you have a 100A 240V service, you could draw what appears to be 200A from that panel at 120V. If you install 100A 120V single pole breakers on each side of the panel (in reality this would be many breakers but let's keep it simple) then both breakers will operate just fine, giving the appearance of 200A. In reality, however, one breaker actually feeds through to the other breaker. The neutral only carries the unbalanced load so in this hypothetical situation the neutral at the panel carries 0A. So the answer to the question is...if you install ONLY 120v single pole breakers, you can run up to 200A on those circuits (or 80% of that as we have discussed.) But you are only running 100A on each leg of the service conductors and breaker.
What gauge wire do you need for a 600w rms Subwoofer 1200w Peak?
8 gauge is very common and really all youll need but i prefer 4 gauge its alittle more spendy but its good. make sure the amp wire holders will fit 4 gauge if you go with that.
Will a us xbox work in angola?
Yes it will. The only thing that you have to keep in mind is that in Angola the power is 220V so U'll need a power brick with 220v. Or U can buy a power converter to convert 220v to 110v.
When do you need to convert the voltage for appliances?
You need to convert the voltage if your appliance requires less voltage than you power supply. example: appliances is 110V and power supply is 220V.
How can 440V equipment operate on 220V?
440V equipment cannot operate directly on 220V. You would need a step-up transformer to increase the voltage from 220V to 440V for the equipment to function properly. Attempting to power 440V equipment with 220V without the proper transformer can damage the equipment and pose a safety risk.
Do you need a power converter for the uae?
depends where youré travelling from. UAE uses 220v domestic supply
What is the formula to convert amperes from 440V to 460V?
For the same power - Watts - you need to run twice as many amps at 220V than at 440V. For the same load, it'll pull half the amps at 220V than it did on 440V
What is the gauge of wire for a 13.8 dc power cords?
You need to know the current to determine the wire gauge.
Get 220v from 12v?
To get 220v from 12v, you will need to step up the voltage. One option is an inverter, another option is a step-up transformer, a third option is a motor-generator set. There are other options. It all depends on your power requirements.
Do you need an electrical converter in Ireland?
If you are coming from Britain, you won't. From most other parts of the world, you will need one. Ireland uses 220v as standard.If you are coming from Britain, you won't.

Can a 110V device be repaired after plugging it into a 220V socket?
Plugging a 110V device into a 220V socket can cause significant damage to the device. The device may experience a power surge that can damage internal components such as the power supply. Repairing the device may be possible, but the extent of the damage would need to be assessed by a professional technician.
What size breaker do you need for a Whirlpool 4 cycle dryer?
It should take a two pole (220V) 50 amp breaker and matching plug wired with # 8 or # 6 gauge wire. Check your manual.
Can an espresso machine with a 20A 240V Leviton plug be powered without rewiring?
You need a dedicated circuit for that. You cannot power a 220V device off 110V.
