The recommended size for a 100 amp service entrance cable is typically 2 AWG copper or 1/0 AWG aluminum.
The recommended cable size for a 200 amp service entrance is typically 2/0 AWG copper or 4/0 AWG aluminum.
2 AWG Aluminum.
For a 200A service, the recommended copper wire gauge for service entrance cable is typically 2/0 AWG (American Wire Gauge). This wire size is able to handle the ampacity required for a 200A service safely and efficiently. It is always recommended to consult with a licensed electrician to determine the appropriate wire size for your specific installation.
For a 150 amp service entrance cable, you would typically use 2/0 AWG (American Wire Gauge) copper or 4/0 AWG aluminum cable. This size provides the necessary capacity to handle the electrical load of a 150 amp service. It's recommended to consult with a licensed electrician for specific guidance based on your local electrical code requirements.
For Service Entrance Cable 600 kcmill (Thousands of circular mils).
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.It is not a recommended procedure. Depending on what size service entrance cable it is the wire size will be too large to fit into the breaker and range lugs. Cutting strands off of a larger size wire to fit into the lugs is not acceptable. If this is new construction then the electrical inspector will reject the installation for not using the properly sized cable to feed the range. Use the proper size cable and feel free that there is not going to be any problems further on. The wire should be 3 conductor #8 fed from a two pole 40 amp breaker.
The grounding electrode conductor size chart provides information on the recommended size of the conductor based on the type of grounding electrode and the size of the service entrance conductor.
The recommended gauge size for a 100 amp cable is typically 3 AWG (American Wire Gauge) for copper wire.
The recommended conduit size for a 200 amp service is typically 2 inches in diameter.
The recommended cable size for a 100 amp electrical circuit is typically 3 AWG copper or 1/0 AWG aluminum.
The recommended type and size of cable for a 240-volt, 30-amp circuit is a 2 2 2 4 SER cable.
The recommended wire size for a 60 amp service is typically 6-gauge copper wire.
