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.

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.
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.

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 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.
