A #1 copper conductor is rated at 140 amps with an insulation rating factor of 90 degrees C at 240 volt single phase, will give you a full 100 amps at 200 feet. #4 wire should give you 95 amps. Anything over 200 feet you will start loosing more amps.
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
A #3 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 115 amps. Even though the panel is rated at a higher amperage it is the main breaker that governs the wire size.
A 100-A sub-panel would be fed from a 100-A breaker.
For a 100 Amp breaker panel it would be 2 AWG. For 150 Amps it would require 2/0 (2 ought) aluminum wire.
Yes you do. The detached garage will either be fed with a single circuit or a sub panel. The wire feeding the garage will need to be protected and that is the purpose of the breaker (disconnect). The breaker size will be determined by the size of the wire that is used on this circuit.
For a 60 amp sub panel located 100 feet away, it is recommended to use a 6-gauge wire size to ensure proper electrical conductivity and safety.
The recommended ground wire size for a 100 amp sub panel installation is typically 8 copper wire.
The 100 amp sub panel wire size chart provides information on the recommended wire sizes for different distances and types of wiring to safely and efficiently supply power to a 100 amp sub panel.
For a 100 amp sub panel installation, the recommended wire size is typically 3 AWG copper or 1/0 AWG aluminum.
For a 100 amp panel, a wire size of at least 3 AWG copper or 1/0 AWG aluminum should be used to ensure proper electrical capacity and safety.
For a 100 amp sub panel, a wire size of 2 AWG copper or 1/0 AWG aluminum is typically recommended to ensure safe and efficient electrical distribution.
For a 100 amp sub panel installation, it is recommended to use copper wire with a gauge size of 3 AWG or larger. This will ensure proper electrical conductivity and safety for the installation.

A #3 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 115 amps. Even though the panel is rated at a higher amperage it is the main breaker that governs the wire size.
For a 100 amp service panel, typically a #8 copper wire or a #6 aluminum wire is recommended for grounding purposes. It's important to follow local electrical codes and regulations when selecting the correct size of the ground wire. It's always a good idea to consult with a licensed electrician for specific guidance based on your individual circumstances.
The necessary specifications for installing a 100 amp outdoor panel include proper grounding, weatherproof enclosure, appropriate wire size, and compliance with local electrical codes.
The wire size in a meter stack is governed by the size of the first over current device.
