No, the conductor is too small. The feeder to a 120/240 volt sub panel should be a 1/0 copper or a 2/0 aluminium conductor. This size conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 125 amps for 125 feet on a 240 volt system. ACWU 90 (Armoured Cable Wet location Underground 90 degree C). ACWU 90 cable is code approved for direct burial and is used in many projects as an underground service distribution feeder. Aluminium is much cheaper than copper for this type of installation.

What size wire is needed to feed a 125 amp sub panel from a 200 amp panel less than 200 wire feet away?

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.


Can you use a 200Amp disconect to feed a 100Amp main panel?

No, it is not recommended to use a 200A disconnect to feed a 100A main panel. The disconnect should always be rated equal to or higher than the main panel it is feeding to ensure proper protection and capacity handling. It is important to match the amperage ratings to avoid potential overload and safety hazards.


Can you feed a 60 amp sub panel from another 60 amp sub panel?

Yes, you can feed a 60 amp sub panel from another 60 amp sub panel as long as the total connected load does not exceed 60 amps. Make sure to properly size the wire and protect the circuits with appropriate breakers to ensure safe operation of the sub panel.


Can you run an additional breaker panel parallel to the existing one?

It is not in parallel. You put a breaker in existing panel and use that to feed the subpanel. The Amperage of this subfeed breaker should match the rating of the new panel. For example a 100A breaker might be typical. Remember that ground and neutral are only "bonded" at the main panel. Usually a subpanel has a means to separate the neutral and ground in a subpanel. Be careful since everything about doing this is dangerous.Another AnswerYes, you can have two breaker panels in parallel. If you had a 100 amp panel on a 200 amp service (or increase the size of the service, check with your power company on the size of your service, you could add a second 100 amp panel in parallel with the first. You can have up to 6 disconnects per service, but they must be located adjacent to each other or in the same enclosure. So either install the second panel beside the first or a 100 amp disconnect beside the first panel and feed out of the disconnect to the new panel located where you need it.


Where is the battery xc90?

The Battery is mounted in the boot (trunk) of this vehicle. To access you need to go into the boot, lift the rear cover off (from the floor) You should see the battery sitting in the middle of the rear (with a black plastic cover) N.B. you can jump start this vehicle from the engine bay - where a positive feed (marked in red) is located by the front fuse board.

I have a Transformer 480 primary 208 secondary feeding 1 200amp mb 42 space panel I need to feed a subpanel 6 ft away I'm thinkin feed through lug at top of bus or at feed through MB suggestions?

The sub-panel need to be fed from the main panel, by way of a circuit breaker connected to one of the breaker locations. Or if your sub-panel has a main breaker installed you can feed from the main panel with a sub-feed lug kit. This looks like a breaker, but is only a point where you can branch off the sub panel.


How does the feed through panel function in the electrical system?

The feed through panel in an electrical system allows for the connection of multiple circuits by passing power through the panel without the need for individual connections.

Can goats eat a feed with a high tolerance of copper?

No, goats cannot consume feed with a high tolerance of copper. Goats are sensitive to excess copper, which can lead to copper toxicity and health issues. It is important to provide goats with a balanced diet that meets their nutritional needs without exceeding safe levels of copper.


Is a 15 amp 2 wire outlet wired with copper wire?

Yes it is wired with copper 2 wire is also known as 14/2 wire is use for switches,outlets,lights. and a 15a outlet should only be on a 15a breaker the main power feed to your meter to your panel is aluminum and can take more of a load than copper. In the US, 15 amp receptacles can be installed on 20 amp circuits if there is more than one receptacle on that circuit. Copper wire can carry a larger load than aluminum wire of the same size.


Can you feed a 60 amp sub panel from another 60 amp sub panel?

Yes, you can feed a 60 amp sub panel from another 60 amp sub panel as long as the total connected load does not exceed 60 amps. Make sure to properly size the wire and protect the circuits with appropriate breakers to ensure safe operation of the sub panel.
