How to compute the size of wire with respect to the distance from circuit breaker to the load side?
Normally wire is sized by the amperage of the load. In this case the wire size is calculated by knowing the length of the run to the load and the amperage of the device to be connected. By knowing the length, the wire size has to be increased to allow for voltage drop over the distance from the supply to the load.
What size service conductors do you need for a single phase 600 amp commercial panel?
The size of wire for service entrance conductors for a 400 amp 3 phase service could be 500 MCM copper. This is very large size wire and difficult to bend and shape, to connect to terminals in the main disconnect and distribution panel. This problem is solved by using parallel conductors or on higher ampacities triple conductors. Using parallel conductors the wire size would be three ought (3/0) copper.
What size wire is best to run for a breaker box piggy back from another breaker box?
The wire is sized to the breaker in the main box that is feeding the subpanel. The calculations for the subpanel is based on what devices will use the subpanel and an estimate of duty factors for the devices. An electrician can provide this information, or you can look on-line in the National Electric Code for estimation methods.
Explain wire size as opposed to gauge size?
Wire size refers to the physical dimensions of a wire, usually expressed in millimeters or inches. Gauge size, on the other hand, is a measurement of the wire's diameter based on a specific gauge system (such as AWG or SWG). So, while wire size refers to the actual physical dimensions, gauge size is a standardized measurement used for electrical wiring.
Who does the FCC regulates and doesn't regulate?
The FCC regulates interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable. It does not regulate content on the internet or communications within individual states.
What size wire to pull 6 amps 70 feet?
NEC 310.16 conductor ampacities NEC 240.4(D) For residential installations the smallest wire to be used is 14 AWG (15 amps rating) and for commercial installations the smallest wire to be used is 12 AWG (20 amp rating)
How to calculate the rating of the FUSE and Cable size. please tell the steps?
The calculations are worked backwards from the amps used by the load of the circuit. This will be used to select the correct size of the wire. Some stipulations are added depending of the ambient temperature, length from the supply or if the load is a motor. Fusing is then dependant on the wire size that is used.

Underground Street light wire length and drop?
refer to table d3 of cec 2009 for proper calculations,need to know your current, wire size etc.refer to distance correction factor (dcf) formula supplied in cec (canadian electrical code)
What is the recommended ground wire size according to the NEC Ground Wire Size Chart?
The recommended ground wire size according to the NEC Ground Wire Size Chart is based on the amperage of the circuit.
What is the process for performing catenary wire calculations?
To perform catenary wire calculations, you need to determine the weight of the wire, the distance between supports, and the tension required. Then, you can use mathematical formulas to calculate the sag and shape of the wire. This involves solving equations involving hyperbolic functions and integrating to find the final shape of the catenary curve.
When is wire size and electrical hazard?
Wire size is the gauge (thickness of wire) hazard is almost anything not wired correctly.
What is the recommended wire size for a range installation?
The recommended wire size for a range installation is typically 8-gauge wire.
What is the recommended wire size for a 30A circuit?
The recommended wire size for a 30A circuit is typically 10-gauge wire.
What is the recommended wire size for a 40A circuit?
The recommended wire size for a 40A circuit is typically 8-gauge wire.
