4/0 (4 ought) in copper will handle 250 amps. The voltage drop at 175 ft. is about 2.14 volts which should be okay.

What size aluminum wire to feed 125 Amps 220 volt a distance of 175' and what size ground?

A 3/0 aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to3% or less when supplying 125 amps for 175 feet on a 220 volt system. If the 125 amp load is a sub distribution panel that is not going to be fully loaded to 125 amps then using the exact connected load, which might be smaller than 125 amps will effect the wire sizing. The grounding conductor for that size distribution panel is #6 bare copper.


How many amps will a 2 0 wire carry?

If you mean 2/0 copper wire it is rated 175 amps. # 2 wire is 115 amps. If you are referring to 2.0 metric it is rated 15 amps.


What size wire should you use to feed a 150 KVA transformer 480 3 phase primary - 240 volt 2 phase secondary?

Well, honey, you'll want to use a wire size that can handle around 175 amps. But hey, don't forget to consider factors like voltage drop and insulation type. It's always best to consult with a professional to make sure you're not playing with fire, literally.


What size of fuse should be used for 75 hp 415v 3 phase motor connection?

To answer this question, wire size is rated in the amount of amperage that it can legally carry. Fuse sizing is based on the amperage that the wire carries. The formula to find amperage when the HP is known is I = HP x 746/1.73 x E x %eff x pf. A standard motor's efficiency between 5 to 100 HP is .84 to .91. A standard motor's power factor between 10 to 100 HP is .86 to .92. Amps = 30 x 746 = 55950 = 55950/ 1.73 x 415 x .87 x .87 = 55950/550 = 101 amps. The electrical code states that a motor conductor has to be rated at 125% of the motors full load amperage. 101 x 125% = 126 amps A #2 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 130 amps. Fusing for this motor will be, non time delay fuse 300 amps, time delay fuse 175 amps or a circuit breaker rated at 250 amps.


Can a 175 watt metal halide bulb be used in a 100 watt ballast fixture?

No, a 175-watt metal halide bulb should not be used in a 100-watt ballast fixture. The wattage of the bulb must match the ballast's rating for optimal performance and safety. Using a bulb with a higher wattage than the ballast can lead to overheating, reduced lifespan, and potential damage to both the bulb and the ballast. Always ensure compatibility between the bulb and ballast specifications.
