∙ 12y agoFor a 100 amp service at 75 feet, you would typically use 2 AWG copper wire or 1/0 AWG aluminum wire. Make sure to consult the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local regulations to ensure compliance with standards and safety requirements. Consider factors like voltage drop and insulation type when selecting the appropriate wire size.
That can't be answered until you state the voltage.
For a 100 amp service, a common feeder wire size would be 2 AWG (American Wire Gauge) copper or 1/0 AWG aluminum. These sizes are appropriate for handling the current capacity needed for a 100 amp electrical service. It is important to consult with a licensed electrician or local building code requirements to ensure the proper wire size for your specific installation.
For a 100 amp service located 160 feet from the power pole, it is recommended to use 2 AWG copper wire or 1/0 AWG aluminum wire to ensure proper voltage drop and safety. Be sure to consult with a licensed electrician to determine the specific requirements for your installation.
I would recommend you use AWG # 2 copper or AWG # 1/0 aluminum for that distance and amperage.
For a 100 amp service 700 feet away, you would typically use 3/0 AWG aluminum wire to account for the voltage drop over that distance. It is important to consult with a licensed electrician or local building codes to determine the exact specifications required for your specific situation.
For a 100 amp service located 160 feet from the power pole, it is recommended to use 2 AWG copper wire or 1/0 AWG aluminum wire to ensure proper voltage drop and safety. Be sure to consult with a licensed electrician to determine the specific requirements for your installation.

A 100 amp residential service requires a size #8 copper wire, it should be insulated in green.
This is a voltage drop question. A voltage must be stated to answer this question.
A 100 amp service requires that you use AWG 4 copper wire or AWG 2 aluminum wire.

It is important to consult with a licensed electrician or local building code requirements to ensure the proper wire size for your specific installation.
For a 100 amp main panel located 100 feet away, it is recommended to use a 2/0 copper or 4/0 aluminum service cable to ensure proper voltage drop and capacity for the distance. Consult with a licensed electrician to determine the specific requirements based on local codes and conditions.
AWG # 4 copper.
A 3/0 aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 150 amps for 150 feet on a 240 volt system. This size will allow the conductor to be loaded to 120 amps. 150 x 80% = 120 Conductors are only allowed to be loaded to 80% or their rated capacity. If you need the full 150 amps then you would need to use a wire with a rating of 190 amps. 190 x 80% = 152 amps A 4/0 aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 190 amps for 150 feet on a 240 volt system.
