A #6 copper wire with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degree C is rated at 65 amps.
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.
A 16 gauge wire can typically carry around 10-13 amps at 120V AC over a short distance like 25 feet. It's important to follow standard safety practices and consult with an electrician to ensure that the wire gauge is appropriate for your specific application and local electrical code requirements.
Windows that can be opened.
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.
8 gauge wire can typically carry up to 40 amps at 120 volts AC over a distance of 25 feet. However, it is important to consult the specific wire manufacturer's specifications and consider other factors such as temperature, installation conditions, and local electrical codes when determining the ampacity of the wire for a particular application.
150 amps
AWG # 6 copper
30 amps is how much a 10-2 wire will carry at 110 feet. 10 gauge wire is only good for thirty amps per the national electrical code. Using 80% of the breakers usage you will actually be getting only 24 amps.
A 3/0 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 200 amps for 200 feet on a 240 volt system.
Yes, a #10 wire will carry 30 amps for 30 feet. If the load is rated as continuous then the wire will have to be derated to 80% capacity which will leave you with 24 workable amps. If the load demands currents higher that 24 amps then you will have to go to the next wire size up which is a #8 which is rated at 45 amps.
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.
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.
A #4 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 25 amps for 400 feet on a 120 volt system.
A 16 gauge wire can typically carry around 10-13 amps at 120V AC over a short distance like 25 feet. It's important to follow standard safety practices and consult with an electrician to ensure that the wire gauge is appropriate for your specific application and local electrical code requirements.
The distance that a 6 gauge wire can carry 50 amps depends on factors like voltage drop and wire insulation. In general, a 6 gauge wire can carry 50 amps for up to 60-70 feet without significant voltage drop. However, it is recommended to consult with a professional electrician for accurate calculations and safety considerations.
10 guage
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.
