Are there negative wire gauges?
Yes, there are ground wire gauges. The approiate size ground wire must be matched to the size service you are installing. For instance a 200 amp serivce must be grounded with a # 4 bare copper ground wire.
What size ground wire needed for a 200amp service panel in new jersey?
#6 bare copper wire.
What size feeders for two 225 amp panelboards?
Use AWG #1 copper service entrance wire and #4 copper ground wire.
How do you know what size ground wire to use on a 200 amp service?
NEC code requires #6 bare copper.
What size ground wire is required for 80 amp service?
Ground is sized based on the size of the feeder wire and not the amps of the service! However, for a 600 amp service 1500MCM copper wire is one option (NEC 310.16) ;therefor, ground wire is 3/O copper (NEC 250.66) or another option is a two sets of 350 MCM copper wire then a #2 copper (since the biggest feeder wire is 350MCM).
