What size aluminum wire for 100 amps undergroundservice 60 feet from meter?
A 3/0 aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 150 amps for 150 feet on a 240 volt system. This size will allow the conductor to be loaded to 120 amps. 150 x 80% = 120 Conductors are only allowed to be loaded to 80% or their rated capacity. If you need the full 150 amps then you would need to use a wire with a rating of 190 amps. 190 x 80% = 152 amps A 4/0 aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 190 amps for 150 feet on a 240 volt system.

Can you replace your old 60 amp service panel box with a new 60 amp panel box?
Most jurisdictions will no longer allow the installation of 60 amp main service panels. If you are doing a repair, and a simple replacement MIGHT be considered a repair, you might get away with replacing one with the other. But if you have the time, money, and/or you KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING, I suggest you upgrade the service to at least 100 amps. Even in small homes the typical installation is now 125 amps. And if the home is all electric, typical installation is 200amps. Replacing a service panel can be very dangerous. Do this ONLY if you know what you are doing and how to protect yourself from injury. If you are guessing, DO NOT DO THIS TASK.
