∙ 9y ago#8 Wire for a 40 amp circuit...
<<>>
A three conductor#6 copper cable will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 40 amps for 150 feet on a 240 volt system. Using a three wire you can put each 20 amp breaker on each "hot" wire and use a common neutral.

∙ 9y agoIt depends on the supply voltage. That is because a lower voltage system would require a smaller voltage drop, therefore less wire resistance and a thicker wire.
For a 100 amp main panel located 100 feet away, it is recommended to use a 2/0 copper or 4/0 aluminum service cable to ensure proper voltage drop and capacity for the distance. Consult with a licensed electrician to determine the specific requirements based on local codes and conditions.
You can install a 100 amp sub panel off a 60 amp main panel fed by 100 amp service. This allows for the sub panel to be adequately powered with headroom for future circuits or expansions. It is important to ensure the wire size from the main panel to the sub panel is sufficient to handle the load.
This type of question usually means you aren't ready to do this yourself. Study some electrical material and the National Electrical Code and work this answer out for yourself. If I were to give you an answer, you might attempt to do something you shouldn't be doing, and that may cost someone a shock, a home fire, or their life.
Yes, a 6 gauge 4 conductor wire is suitable for installing a 240V 50A hot tub more than 50 ft away from the main panel. The heavier gauge wire is necessary to minimize voltage drop over longer distances and ensure the proper power supply for the hot tub. Be sure to follow local electrical codes and consult with a professional electrician for a safe installation.
For a 100 amp sub panel located 250 ft from the main panel, you would typically need to use 3/0 aluminum wire or 2/0 copper wire to ensure efficient power transmission and voltage drop within acceptable limits. It is recommended to consult with a licensed electrician to ensure the appropriate wire size and materials are used for your specific setup.
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.

AWG 2/0 copper.
Re melted solder on 6 or 8 pins in main relay and it works just fine now.
Normally the main is on the top but you can install a service panel with the main on the bottom unless local codes prohibit it.
The smallest divisions on the main scale of a screw gauge are typically 0.5 mm.
A sub-panel is always fed from a main panel. The main panel is situated where the electrical service wiring first enters the main structure on a dwelling plot or building site.A sub-panel can be situated within the same building as the main panel or it can be in a subsidiary building or structure (such as a garage, garden shed or workshop) that is separate from the main building.More informationA sub-panel is another name for a secondary breaker box, just as "the main panel" is another name for "the main breaker-box"."Breaker-box" and/or "panel" are just alternative short names that are used instead of the full name "circuit breaker box".
An additional panel which is connected to the excisting main control panel, displaying all the information that the main panel displays in another location. For example, in an offcie building, you may have the main control panel at the main entrance/exit while you have the remote panel in a security/fire office somewhere else in the building so that the cause of the fire alarm can be easily identified without having to go across one building.
the main switch is connected in the center of the panel
It is against code to install a main panel on a outside wall of a bathroom.
