To answer this question the voltage value and whether the system is three phase or single phase needs to be given.
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, 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.
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.
For a 100 amp sub panel, you would typically need a 2-2-2-4 aluminum SER cable. This cable consists of three insulated conductors (two hot and one neutral) and one bare ground wire. It is important to always consult your local electrical code and a qualified electrician to ensure you have the correct size and type of cable for your specific installation.
Yes, you can use a 40 amp breaker to feed a sub panel. The wire from the 40 amp breaker must be #8 or larger. If you intend to use the full 40 amps a larger conductor must be used. Conductors can only be loaded to 80% capacity in continuous load conditions. A #8 wire is rated at 45 amps x 80% = 36 amps. The suggested size would be a #6 rated at 65 amps x 80% = 52 amps.
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.
3/0 or250 aluminum
The recommended wire size for a 100A sub panel installation is typically 2 AWG copper or 1/0 AWG aluminum.
For a 100 amp sub panel installation, the recommended wire size is typically 3 AWG copper or 1/0 AWG aluminum.
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.
For a 100 amp panel, a wire size of at least 3 AWG copper or 1/0 AWG aluminum should be used to ensure proper electrical capacity and safety.
#6 3 conducter
For a 100 amp sub panel, a wire size of 2 AWG copper or 1/0 AWG aluminum is typically recommended to ensure safe and efficient electrical distribution.
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.
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.
For a 100 Amp breaker panel it would be 2 AWG. For 150 Amps it would require 2/0 (2 ought) aluminum wire.
For a 60 amp sub panel located 100 feet away, it is recommended to use a 6-gauge wire size to ensure proper electrical conductivity and safety.
