What wire size for 15000 Volts and 550 amp service?
There are two distinct questions here. To determine the wire size to carry 15000 volts the circuits load amperage must be stated. The wire size for a 550 amp service is, an 800 MCM copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C. This conductor is rated at 555 amps. Parallel 250 MCM will give you a total capacity of 580 amps. A triple run of 2/0 will give you a total capacity of 585 amps.
What size wire is needed for 800 amp service?
Loaded question, what is the voltage, run length, aluminum or copper feeders, expected constant load? Definitely bigger than 4/0
What size wire needed for 50 amp service 800 feet away 120 volt RV Trailer 3600 watts plus a security light or outdoor outlet What size breaker at the supply disconnect receiving panel disconnect?
A 500 MCM copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 50 amps for 800 feet on a 120 volt system. 500 MCM wire diameter is 1/2 inch. As you can see there will be trouble getting that size wire into a 50 amp breakers lug. On installations like this to offset the voltage drop at such a low voltage, a transformer should be used at both ends. The first transformer to raise the voltage and the second transformer to lower it at the 800 foot end. If you use two 480 volt transformers a #1 wire can be used between them. A #1 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 50 amps for 800 feet on a 480 volt system. By increasing the voltage you can see that a smaller wire size can be used. On an installation of this nature, a primary line should be brought to the RV site and a service distribution panel established at that point and any RV vehicles can then be fed from that service.
What size electrical wire underground 230 volt 60 amp 800 feet?
NEC recommends maximum allowable voltage drops not to exceed 3% on a branch circuit. For feeder/ branch combos the NEC recommends that the voltage shall not drop by more than 5% to the furthest outlet. The main consideration that is enforced is NEC 250-122. You must compensate your grounding conductor when you increase in conductor size to compensate for voltage drops. Direct bury or conduit: #4/0 copper provides for 2.95% #2/0 copper provides for 4.35% #1/0 copper provides for 5.19% Interestingly enough, using a separate calculator 3/0 copper with 3% voltage drop can be 780.5 feet long.
How many amps can be applied to a 400 sq mm aluminium wire?
530 amps in average conditions, more in cold weather. <<>> The closest conversion will be; 405 mm2 is equal to 800 MCM AWG. A 800 MCM aluminium conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 445 amps.
What is the amperage rating of 500 MCM copper conductor?
It depends on a lot of factors. Generally speaking, if the insulation is THHN then the rating is 350 amps. If the insulation is THWN then the rating is 310 amps. The ampere rating for wire depends on the temperature of the environment it will be used in, the insulation rating and the number of circuits installed in a conduit. There are also other factors to consider... like voltage drop in long runs.
How loud is a Storm Cat 800 watt generator?
A Storm Cat 800 watt generator has a decimal rating of between 190 to 265 decibels depending on load and amperage. This is enough noise pollution to cause hearing damage after twenty minutes of exposure.
What size ground wire should you use on a 1200 amp service?
For a 1200 amp service, you should use a copper ground wire of at least 3/0 AWG or an aluminum wire of at least 250 kcmil to meet the National Electrical Code requirements. It's always recommended to consult with a licensed electrician to ensure the proper sizing and installation of the ground wire.
What is State of copper at 800 degrees Celsius?
At 800 degrees Celsius, copper is in solid state. Copper has a melting point of 1085 degrees Celsius, so at 800 degrees Celsius, it remains in its solid form.
What wire size for 15000 Volts and 550 amp service?
There are two distinct questions here. To determine the wire size to carry 15000 volts the circuits load amperage must be stated. The wire size for a 550 amp service is, an 800 MCM copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C. This conductor is rated at 555 amps. Parallel 250 MCM will give you a total capacity of 580 amps. A triple run of 2/0 will give you a total capacity of 585 amps.
What size ungrounded conductor for 800 amp service?
A 3/0 copper conductor would allow you up to 100 feet at 800 Amps with only 5 percent voltage drop, assuming 240-volt service. If it were a 3-phase 480-volt service, you could go more than 23 feet with only a 5 percent drop. <<>> The size of conductors for an 800 amp service could be sized in several ways. Using a single conductor is out of the question as the size will be impossible to bend or handle. A 2000MCM wire only has a rating of 775 amps. Most high amperage services will use parallel runs to add up to the required amperage. A parallel run of 600 MCM will give you a total of 910 amps. A triple parallel run of 300 MCM will give you a total of 885 amps. A quad parallel run of 3/0 will give you an amperage of 840 amps. The key here is to find the most economical way of installing the service. Take into account the availability of triple barrel or four barrel lugs, wire costs for the larger sizes and the labour to man handle the larger sizes into the main switch. These size services that I have installed, the customer opted for the four barrel lugs with 3/0 wire. The 3/0 wire is a readily available item even though the lugs may have to be a special order.
What size ground wire for 800 amp service?
For an 800 amp service, typically a 3/0 or 4/0 copper conductor or 250kcmil aluminum conductor would be appropriate for the grounding wire. However, it is recommended to consult with a qualified electrician or the local electrical code for specific requirements based on the installation conditions.
What size wire is needed for 800 amps?
Loaded question, what is the voltage, run length, aluminum or copper feeders, expected constant load? Definitely bigger than 4/0
What state would copper be at 800 degrees?
Copper would be in liquid form at 800 degrees Celsius. Copper has a melting point of 1084 degrees Celsius, so at 800 degrees, it would have already melted but not yet boiled into a gas.
