In BC Canada, you need 2-#3 R90XLPE for the hot conductors, and 1-#6 R90XLPE for the neutral. Your ground is #6 bare copper.
A #3 copper wire with an insulation rating of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 100 and 110 amps respectively.

What size wire do you need for a 100amp braker?
Service entrance wire should be AWG #3 copper.
What wire size for 100amp load for distance of 1000ft?
At that distance you will have a voltage drop of 81.25 volts if you use the recommended #6 wire on a 240 volt, 100 amp single phase circuit. Therefore I recommend you contact you electric utility and let them figure the voltage drop and the size wire required to safely run this distance. Using too small a wire can damage the electronics at the end of the run.
How big is 6 gauge wire?
The size of the wire is stated by its gauge under American Wire Gauge. Six gauge wire is size 6 AWG.
What size wire is required for 277 volt fluorescent lighting?
Wire size is governed by amperage not voltage. Voltage is an insulation factor when talking about wire. Add up the amperage of fixtures you want in the circuit. Once that is found then the size of the wire can be calculated.
What size wire to use to install a thermostat?
Use what is called bell wire or thermostat wire.
What size wire do you need for a 100amp braker?
Service entrance wire should be AWG #3 copper.
What size copper wire to use for a 100amp single phase three meter service feed from the riser?
A #3 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 115 amps.
What wire size for 100amp load for distance of 1000ft?
At that distance you will have a voltage drop of 81.25 volts if you use the recommended #6 wire on a 240 volt, 100 amp single phase circuit. Therefore I recommend you contact you electric utility and let them figure the voltage drop and the size wire required to safely run this distance. Using too small a wire can damage the electronics at the end of the run.
How many single phase can you run on a 100amp 3 phase?
You can divide a three phase service into (3) single phase circuits providing you have a 4th neutral wire.
What is the maxi fuse resistance?
100amp
What size wire for 100amp. 12vdc?
For a 100 amp 12VDC circuit, you would typically use 2/0 AWG (00 AWG) wire to ensure proper conductivity and safety. This size of wire is rated for up to 150 amps in most applications, providing a good margin for the 100 amp load. Be sure to consult local electrical codes and standards for specific requirements.
What can I use in place of 100amp fuse?
Another 10 amp fuse. If you use anything larger, you can fry your equipment, cause a fire, and so on. If this fuse is blowing all the time, there is a short in the component or wire.
When is wire size and electrical hazard?
Wire size is the gauge (thickness of wire) hazard is almost anything not wired correctly.
Explain wire size as opposed to gauge size?
Wire size refers to the physical dimensions of a wire, usually expressed in millimeters or inches. Gauge size, on the other hand, is a measurement of the wire's diameter based on a specific gauge system (such as AWG or SWG). So, while wire size refers to the actual physical dimensions, gauge size is a standardized measurement used for electrical wiring.
How big is 6 gauge wire?
The size of the wire is stated by its gauge under American Wire Gauge. Six gauge wire is size 6 AWG.
Does copper wire insulate?
The insulation on a wire is applied after the wire is drawn to size.
How to calculate the best wire size to use with a 10-32 UNF-2A thread?
10-32 unf-2a <<>> The wire size does not need to be calculated. Use a wire terminal end that crimps to the wire. These terminal end come in various wire sizes and bolt hole sizes. Pick the correct end for the wire size you are using and then in that wire size range, pick the correct bolt hole size that fits the bolt.
