Can you tap off of a 200 amp service for 2 100 amp panels?
Yes, but at every reduction in wire size there has to be a breaker sized to the smaller wire size. The wire size for 100 amp panels is recommended at #3 copper conductor. From the 200 amp feeder panel you will require a 100 amp two pole breaker for each of the two 100 amp services. Keep in mind that if you run the 100 amp services close to maximum this will take away the capacity of the 200 amp service for other branch circuits coming off of it. Also keep in mind that if the panels are located, not in the same building as the 200 amp service that the 100 amp panels will be treated as separate services and will have to be constructed like a 100 amp service. This includes ground rods. Also the bonding screw will have to be removed that connects the neutral buss to the panel enclosure.

Can you install a 150 amp meter base and still have a 100 amp main panel?
The wire size in a meter stack is governed by the size of the first over current device.
Do you need to change the wire size going from 100 amp service to 150 amp service?
Yes, the wire size has to be increased. The existing 100 amp service will now probably have a #3 conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C which is rated for 100 and 105 amps respectively. Increasing to a 150 amp service will use a #1/0 wire size. If you are thinking of an upgrade, skip the 150 amp service and go to a 200 amp panel. New homes are installing 200 amp 42 circuit panels. The extra cost is only reflected in the materials as the labour costs will be the same regardless whether a 150 amp or a 200 amp panel is installed. The wire size for a 200 amp panel is #3/0. With an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C the rating is 200 or 210 amps respectively.
What size feeder wire for 100 amps?
For a 100 amp service, a common feeder wire size would be 2 AWG (American Wire Gauge) copper or 1/0 AWG aluminum. These sizes are appropriate for handling the current capacity needed for a 100 amp electrical service. It is important to consult with a licensed electrician or local building code requirements to ensure the proper wire size for your specific installation.
What is the amp size of a 8 wire?
The amp size of a wire is determined by its gauge, not the number of wires. An 8-gauge wire is typically rated for around 40-60 amps, depending on the type and insulation of the wire.
