120v ac at 100 " the wire is 000 AWG or BS longer length above it is unsafe. IS THERE A SOLUTION SURE 4 wires 0000 at 40 amps will do it for 110v single phase.
No, number 2 conductors are not sufficient to carry 200A. You would need larger gauge wires to safely handle that amount of current. It is important to match the wire size to the amperage rating of the panel to prevent overheating and potential hazards.
For a single phase 600 amp service, you would typically use 350 kcmil conductors. However, the specific size can depend on factors like voltage drop calculations, distance from the utility transformer, and ambient temperature. It's always recommended to consult with a qualified electrician or electrical engineer for a precise determination.
To extend the underground wire to your new shop, you would need to run a new wire from the existing panel to the new shop location. Ensure you use the appropriate wire size for the distance and amperage load (100 amps) to meet building codes and safety standards. It is recommended to hire a licensed electrician to perform this work to ensure it is done correctly and safely.
If it was preinstalled, it may have been adequate at the time of installation. It depends on the power requirements of the home. If this is a new install, the NEC has a minimum of 100A for service equipment. To be honest, I would install 200A minimum to allow for future expansion.
In the service distribution panel there are termination points at the top of the panel. Two of the utilities "hot" conductors terminate on the main breaker. The neutral utility termination point is on a terminal block usually off to the side near the main hot terminations. It is in this neutral termination block where the system ground connects from the ground rods to the distribution panel. For a 100 amp panel the wire size will be a #6 bare copper conductor.
For a distribution panel rated at 400 amps parallel runs of 3/0 conductors will do the job.
Need to know what size service is going to be installed at the end of the run.
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.

Depends on the size of the sub-panel in that garage. If you are installing a 60 amp sub-panel 400 feet away from the main service panel then use AWG # 4.

The weight of a Masonite panel can vary depending on its thickness and size. However, a standard 4x8 foot panel of 1/8 inch thick Masonite typically weighs around 35-40 pounds.
Re Question with the voltage that you will be using.
