What else can I help you with?
Can you use aluminum service cable to feed a sub panel?
Yes, as long as it has the necessary ampacity for the load and is properly fastened at each terminal. For example, we have a 4/0 aluminum cable feeding our 200 A subpanel 120 feet away.
Exterior electrical service should be 3 feet away from what?
Windows that can be opened.
Exterior electrical service wires should be at least 3 feet away from?
CEC - any window that has the capacity to be opened.The exterior electrical service wires should be at least 3 feet away from any part of any window that is able to be opened.
Should a 2 AWG copper wire be used to feed a 125 amp sub panel located 125 feet from main panel?
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 is the maximum distance service entrance conductors can be installed in conduit inside a residence before entering the service panel?
This is one of those questions that has a lot of answers! In a residence I would want it as short as possible, however you can legally run it 10 feet, if you use steel flex or metallic liquid tite in your raceway system the maximum length of the flex can only be 6 feet with the remaining 4 feet of conduit. Inspectors in some areas like for the service panel located in the first stud bay available nearest the service entrance, this usually keeps the conduit and wire length to a minimum.

What size underground service entry cable needed for 100 amp sub panel 600 feet from main?
AWG 2/0 copper.
What gauge wire to use for direct burial for a garage that is 400 feet from your house?
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.
How long is the anchor cable for a flagpole 24 feet high which is 10 feet away from the base of its anchor cable 25 feet 26 feet 30 feet or 34 feet?
Using Pythagoras' theorem it is 26 feet
What size wire do you need to run overhead to a 50 amp service five hundred feet away?
For that distance I would run AWG # 3 copper and install a sub-panel.
What is the recommended wire size for a 60 amp sub panel located 100 feet away?
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.
What wire size is used to make service connection from a 200 amp service panel to a 40 amp service panel 150 feet away?
8 AWG copper is rated for 40 amps. Over 150 ft, at maximum current, the voltage drop would be about 3.76 volts. Using 6 AWG would have a voltage drop of 2.36 volts with the same 40 amps.

CEC - any window that has the capacity to be opened.The exterior electrical service wires should be at least 3 feet away from any part of any window that is able to be opened.
How many feet are in one cable?
1 US cable equals 720 feet. 1 British cable equals 608 feet. A cable is a nautical unit of measure equal to one tenth of a nautical mile.
How far should electrical service be from a window?
Are you asking about home electrical service? sevrice entrance cables need to be three feet away from a window
What size wire to run 250 feet away 60 amp sub panel?
Re Question with the voltage that you will be using.
