A 1/0 aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 30 amps for 500 feet on a 240 volt system.
Need to know what size service is going to be installed at the end of the run.
1/0 <<>> This is a voltage drop question. A voltage and whether it is a single or three phase system must be provided to give an answer.
A 1/0 AWG aluminium conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 60 amps for 330 feet on a 240 volt system. The cable will be rated as ACWU 90. ACWU 90 cables are primarily intended for exposed and concealed wiring in dry or wet locations and where exposed to the weather. For use in ventilated, non-ventilated, and ladder type cable trays in wet and dry locations; direct earth burial; service entrance above or below ground.
2 AWG Aluminum.
This is a voltage drop question. To answer this question a voltage must be stated.
Today the only use of aluminum wire is in service entrances and underground feeds where the larger sizes are needed. By using aluminum the overall project wire costs are kept to a minimum even with the bigger size needed over copper. Wiring branch circuit in aluminum has not been vogue for many years now.
AWG 2/0 copper.
This is a voltage drop question. To receive an answer to this question the voltage of the service must be stated.
For a 100 amp sub panel, you would typically need a 2-2-2-4 aluminum SER cable. This cable consists of three insulated conductors (two hot and one neutral) and one bare ground wire. It is important to always consult your local electrical code and a qualified electrician to ensure you have the correct size and type of cable for your specific installation.
Your service provider will give you that information The size will depend on: A) how close to the transformer are you. B) copper or aluminum C) Yes, you have a 400amp service but what will your actual peak amp usage be. D) Underground or overhead.
# 6 copper wire.
Need to know what size service is going to be installed at the end of the run.
1 cubic foot of aluminum weighs 169.344 Lbs
3-4 feet long is ideal
For a 200 amp service running 650 feet, you would likely need at least 2/0 aluminum or 1/0 copper conductors for the hot lines. The size of the neutral conductor will depend on whether it is required to be the same size as the hot conductors or smaller, and the size of the ground conductor will need to follow local electrical code requirements. It is recommended to consult with a qualified electrician to ensure proper sizing for your specific application.
1/0 <<>> This is a voltage drop question. A voltage and whether it is a single or three phase system must be provided to give an answer.
A 1600 amp service typically requires 500 kcmil copper wire or 750 kcmil aluminum wire. It's important to consult with a qualified electrician to determine the exact size and type of wire needed for your specific installation to ensure safety and compliance with local electrical codes.
