Re: Power Feeder and Voltage Drop




You should refer to NEC400 for ampacity of free-air feeder cable. Common sizes are:


#2 AWG 190 amps

#1 AWG 220 amps

#2/0 AWG 300 amps

#4/0 AWG 400 amps


I use #1


Especially consider that you CANNOT band feeder cable as it will require derating. Also know that 2/5 SOOW cord has WAY less current capacity than free-air #2 due to derating as well.
