For 6 AWG wire, you typically use a conduit size of 3/4 inch for one or two conductors. However, if you're using multiple conductors or have specific installation requirements, you may need to refer to the National Electrical Code (NEC) or local codes to determine the appropriate conduit size based on fill capacity. Always ensure to follow guidelines to maintain safety and compliance.
For AWG 8 wire, the recommended conduit size typically depends on the number of conductors and the type of conduit used. For a standard installation with a single AWG 8 copper wire, a 1/2-inch conduit is generally sufficient. However, if multiple wires are present or if the conduit is of a different type (like PVC or EMT), it may be necessary to use a larger conduit, such as 3/4-inch. Always refer to local electrical codes and guidelines for specific requirements.
To determine the appropriate conduit size for three-phase 8 AWG THWN wire, you need to consider the number of conductors and the type of conduit. Typically, for three conductors, you would use a conduit fill chart that accounts for the conduit type and the number of wires. For EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing), a 1-inch conduit is usually sufficient for three 8 AWG THWN wires, but it's essential to verify with local codes and regulations. Always consult the NEC (National Electrical Code) for specific requirements.
50 mm or 2 inch will handle the 3/0 wires for a 200 amp service.
A 100 amp service requires that you use AWG 4 copper wire or AWG 2 aluminum wire.
i just left lowes an they told me to run 100 amp to my building i would need wire size 2-2-2-4 alumninum and run it in conduit the lowes around here does not sell copper wire that size

The minimum wire size for a 30Amp breaker is typically 10 AWG for copper wire and 8 AWG for aluminum wire, according to the National Electrical Code (NEC). This wire size is necessary to safely carry the amount of current without overheating.
Use AWG #6 wire.
A conduit and wire size chart provides information on the recommended wire sizes to use with different types and sizes of conduits. It helps determine the appropriate wire gauge for a specific conduit size to ensure safe and efficient electrical installations.
Depends on the wire size used in the circuit. If you use AWG # 14 wire you must use a 15 amp breaker. If it is wired with AWG # 12 wire then you use a 20 amp breaker. If a AWG # 10 wire is used then a 30 amp breaker is required. The breaker protects the wiring from overheating so you must use the proper size breaker for the wire used.
The size breaker you use is determined by the size wire used in the circuit. If you use AWG #12/2 wire then use a 20 amp breaker. If you use AWG # 14/2 then use a 15 amp breaker.
Use AWG #10 wire on a 20 amp breaker.
