What size of wire is needed for 1500 amps?

There is no single conductor that will handle 1500 amps. For ease of handling, the conductors should be installed in parallel, triple or quad runs. For a parallel run, 2 - 2000 MCM with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C will give you a total ampacity of 1550 amps. For a triple run, 3 - 750 MCM with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C will give you a total ampacity of 1500 amps. For a quad run, 4 - 500 with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C will give you a total ampacity of 1580 amps.


What size of parallel wire for 900 amp service?

Conductors by code are only allowed to be loaded up to 80 percent. In this case an over size wire set will be higher that what the wire is rated for in the code book. A 600 MCM copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 455 amps. Paralleled together will give an ampacity of 910 amps. After the derate the maximum amperage allowed is 728 amps. So to get the full 900 amp the wire size has to be increased to a 1000 MCM copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C which is rated at 585 amps. Paralleled this give you an ampacity of 1170 amps. After the derate the maximum amperage allowed is 1170 x 80% = 936 amps


What is the ampacity of a 10 sq mm Aluminium wire?

A 10 mm squared conductor is equal to a #8 AWG. A #8 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C are both rated at 45 amps.


Can Type TW cable be used in an area that has an ambient temperature of 658C?

There is no wire insulation on this earth that can stand a temperature of 658 degrees C (1268 degrees F.).


How many amps can a 2.5 sq mm wire conduct?

It will taken 8 amps <<>> The conversion of 2.5 sq mm wire to AWG is equal to a #12 wire. The ampacity of a #12 copper wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is 20 amps.

What is the normal operating engine temperature?

That can vary per vehicle, it could be around 227 degrees However, remember that water boils at 212 degrees. The boiling point of automotive coolant varies slightly from that, but the system is pressurized, so boiling is "normally" not a problem. Most modern, fuel-injected automobiles have a normal operating temperature of 190 to 195 degrees. Older cars operated at about 180 degrees.
