How far can I run 4 gauge wire?
How far can I run 4 gauge wire?
Your length is 900 feet (out and back again), so you want wire with a resistance of 0.288*1000/900 = 0.32 ohms per 1000 feet. #4 copper wire has a resistance of 0.321 ohms per 1000 feet, which is about 0.003% too high.
How big is a 200A copper service wire?

How big of a wire do I need for a 300 ft run?
– Ryan Jul 28 ’14 at 14:57 Only if you care about power quality. 300′ of #3 uncoated copper @ 100 amperes, will have a voltage drop of 14.7 volts. So if the panel is fully loaded (drawing 100 amperes), and you have 240 volts at the service equipment panel, you’ll end up with 225.3 volts at the panel. And that’s at the panel.
How big of a service line do you need for a three family house?
Obviously this is a very uncommon and rare situation. In the case of a three family house an 1 1/2″ service line is typically required. Again the exception would be if the length of the run of pipe was only 35′ or less.
How big is a 2 inch water supply line?
But in terms of area, the inside area of these size pipes (water supply tubing) is a difference of about 56% greater. As another example let’s compare 1 1/2″ pipe to 2″ pipe. The difference in area inside an 1 1/2″ pipe compared to a 2″ pipe is around 77%.
How big of a wire do I need for a 200 foot run?
Note: For every extra 50 feet of cable/wire up to #8 normally you upgradeto the next size, consult you local codes if your unsure about doubleand triple length runs. Ex: #6 is sometimes mandatory for a 200 foot 12 amp run but can be used up to 300 feet on a 12 amp circuit. Note:
