How many amps can 4 0 wire carry?

4/0 Welding Cable carries

310 Amps

for 600 volt in-line applications. 4/0 Welding Cable is an extremely flexible cable with pure fine stranded copper.

What size wire do I need for 200 amp service?

Wiring 200 amp service requires either

#2/0 copper wiring or #4/0 aluminum or aluminum clad wiring

. Which wire used is determined by the voltage drop and length of the wiring. Many electrical contractors opt to use #4/0 aluminum or copper-clad wire.

What wire is needed for 220v 30 amp?

A 30 Amp circuit is needed for most 220V tools. You will need to run a

10-2

to the outlet. 10-2 copper wire is usually good for up to 40 Amps on start loads and 35 Amps on constant load.

What size wire is good for 100 amps?

The cable must have a wire gauge sufficient to the amperage of the subpanel—a 100-amp subpanel requires

#4 copper wires or, more commonly, #2 aluminum wires

, for example. (Aluminum is often used for feeder cables because the cost is typically much lower than that of copper wires.)

What wire size do I need to go 100 feet for a 60 amp service to a workshop?

If the circuit is 100 amp or less you have to size the conductors based on the 60-degree celsius column unless the breaker and the equipment terminations are rated for 75 or 90 degrees. You have to use

a #4 conductor

to feed a 60 amp circuit.

What size wire should I use for a 40 amp breaker?

For a 40 amp you need a

8-gauge wire size

and for a 20 amp, you will need a 12-gauge wire size.
