Yes, no problem at all going to a larger ampacity of wire. Larger size wire yes, smaller size wire no.
Wire size is based on the amperage capacity of the service it is feeding. You tell me the service amps and I can tell you the wire size.
For a 70kW 240V single phase generator, you would typically use a wire size of 3/0 AWG copper wire. This size wire is rated to handle the current carrying capacity required for a generator of that size to ensure safe and efficient operation. Be sure to consult with a professional electrician to confirm the correct wire size for your specific installation.
For a 125 amp panel, you would typically use #1 AWG copper wire or #2 AWG aluminum wire for the main service entrance conductors. It's important to consult local electrical codes and a qualified electrician to ensure the correct wire size for your specific situation.
For a 125 amp sub panel located less than 200 feet away from a 200 amp panel, you would typically use a 2 AWG copper wire or 1/0 AWG aluminum wire to safely carry the current load. It's important to follow local electrical codes and regulations when selecting the wire size.
Yes, no problem at all going to a larger ampacity of wire. Larger size wire yes, smaller size wire no.
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.

AWG # 1/0 copper would normally be used.
For a 70kW 240V single phase generator, you would typically use a wire size of 3/0 AWG copper wire. This size wire is rated to handle the current carrying capacity required for a generator of that size to ensure safe and efficient operation. Be sure to consult with a professional electrician to confirm the correct wire size for your specific installation.
This is a voltage drop question. To give an answer the voltage must be stated.
For a 125 amp panel, you would typically use #1 AWG copper wire or #2 AWG aluminum wire for the main service entrance conductors. It's important to consult local electrical codes and a qualified electrician to ensure the correct wire size for your specific situation.
depends on its use. If its for residential service its good for 125 amps In commercial and industrial installations it's a bit more complicated but you end up at the same 125 amps.

An L5-30P is a two pole three wire grounding 30 amp, 125 volt plug . The neutral wire is connected to the W terminal, the ground wire to the G terminal and the hot wire to the only terminal that is left. The small blade/slot is neutral (white), the larger blade/slot is hot (black) and the notched blade/slot is ground (green).
The Honda 125 is not bigger than a Honda 230 4 Stroke if the only difference is the size of the motor. The Honda 125 is actually a taller motorcycle than the Honda 230 4 Stroke when size is considered in inches from the ground to the seat.
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.
