What else can I help you with?
Do you need to change the wire size going from 100 amp service to 150 amp service?
Yes, the wire size has to be increased. The existing 100 amp service will now probably have a #3 conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C which is rated for 100 and 105 amps respectively. Increasing to a 150 amp service will use a #1/0 wire size. If you are thinking of an upgrade, skip the 150 amp service and go to a 200 amp panel. New homes are installing 200 amp 42 circuit panels. The extra cost is only reflected in the materials as the labour costs will be the same regardless whether a 150 amp or a 200 amp panel is installed. The wire size for a 200 amp panel is #3/0. With an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C the rating is 200 or 210 amps respectively.
What wire size needed for 150 feet run on 30 amp?
This is a voltage drop question. To answer this question a voltage must be stated.
What gauge wire for service entrance in Wisconsin?
Depends on the size of the service. 100 amp service will require 3 gauge, 150 amp service will require 1/0 gauge, and 200 amp service will require 3/0 gauge.
What size cable size for 150 amp?
For a 150 amp service, the recommended cable size is typically 1 AWG copper or 2 AWG aluminum, assuming standard installation conditions. This sizing ensures the cable can safely handle the current without excessive voltage drop or overheating. Always consult local electrical codes and regulations, as they may have specific requirements that need to be followed.
How do you add a 240 volt receptacle to 100 amp supply?
The 240 volt receptacle has to have an amperage rating. It is this rating that governs the wire size and breaker size to feed the circuit. The new two pole breaker will be inserted in the 100 amp distribution if space is available and connected to the new wiring that terminates at the new receptacle.

With an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C the rating is 200 or 210 amps respectively.
Can you install a 150 amp meter base and still have a 100 amp main panel?
The wire size in a meter stack is governed by the size of the first over current device.
What is the recommended wire size for a 100 amp service running 150 feet?
For a 100 amp service running 150 feet, the recommended wire size is typically 2 AWG copper or 1/0 AWG aluminum to ensure proper electrical conductivity and safety.
What is the wire size needed to feed a 400 amp service with parallel copper?
It depends on the length of the run
What size wire do i need to feed a single phase V primary and a V secondary fed from a 150 amp circuit breaker?
Information is incomplete. You need to know the load in Watt or Kilowatt and the voltage on the secondary side to determine the load current, on which the size of the wire is designed.
What is the maximum current capacity of a 150 amp breaker?
The maximum current capacity of a 150 amp breaker is 150 amps.
What size wire do you need to go 150 feet using a 20 amp 120 v?
12 AWG.
What size wire would you need for 150 amp breaker?
# 1 awg if in Canada not sure about us codes
What is the maximum amperage capacity of a 150 amp circuit breaker?
The maximum amperage capacity of a 150 amp circuit breaker is 150 amps.
What is the recommended size for the main breaker in a residential electrical panel, specifically for a 125 amp main breaker?
The recommended size for a main breaker in a residential electrical panel with a 125 amp main breaker is typically 150 amps.
What wire size needed for 150 feet run on 30 amp?
This is a voltage drop question. To answer this question a voltage must be stated.
Can you feed a 60 amp sub panel from another 60 amp sub panel?
Yes, you can feed a 60 amp sub panel from another 60 amp sub panel as long as the total connected load does not exceed 60 amps. Make sure to properly size the wire and protect the circuits with appropriate breakers to ensure safe operation of the sub panel.
