A #14 copper wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 15 amps. To answer your question for voltage drop at 200 feet a voltage needs to be stated. Assuming the voltage of 120 is used to maintain 15 amps at the distance of 200 feet a #6 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to less that 3 percent. Assuming the voltage of 240 is used to maintain 15 amps at the distance of 200 feet a #10 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to less that 3 percent.
The maximum amperage of a 0 gauge wire typically ranges from 150 to 200 amps for automotive applications. However, it is important to consult the specific manufacturer's guidelines and consider factors such as temperature and installation conditions to ensure the safe use of the wire.
The maximum distance a 12 gauge electrical wire can run depends on the voltage and amperage of the circuit it is serving. In a typical residential circuit with 120 volts and 20 amperes, a 12 gauge wire can run up to 60 feet before voltage drop and overheating become concerns. It is always best to consult local electrical codes and standards for specific guidance on wire length limitations.
Each hot leg to the neutral wire of the service has the ampacity of 200 amps, that is why 3/0 wire is required. A 3/0 copper wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 210 amps.
To calculate the voltage drop in a circuit, you can use Ohm's Law (V = I * R). In this case, V = 200 amps * 3 ohms = 600 volts. This means that with a 200 amp current flowing through a 3 ohm 2-gauge wire, there will be a voltage drop of 600 volts.
3/0 gauge
As a service entrance wire you need AWG # 3/0 gauge copper.
6 AWG will handle 50 amps with a voltage drop of about 4 volts. If you go to 4 AWG and limit to 50 amps your voltage drop will be 2.5 volts.
4 gauge
A #14 copper wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 15 amps. To answer your question for voltage drop at 200 feet a voltage needs to be stated. Assuming the voltage of 120 is used to maintain 15 amps at the distance of 200 feet a #6 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to less that 3 percent. Assuming the voltage of 240 is used to maintain 15 amps at the distance of 200 feet a #10 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to less that 3 percent.
A #1 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 95 amps for 200 feet on a 208 volt system. This size will allow the conductor to be loaded to 76 amps. 95 x 80% = 76 amps Conductors are only allowed to be loaded to 80% or their rated capacity. If you need the full 95 amps then you would need to use a wire with a rating of 120 amps. 120 x 80% = 96 amps. A 1/0 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 120 amps for 200 feet on a 208 volt system.
A #6 aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 20 amps for 200 feet on a 240 volt system.
