Frequently Asked Engineering Questions
What size copper wire do I need for 110 amps at 350 feet (240V)?
To stay within the NEC recommended 3% maximum voltage drop for a 110A load over 350 feet one-way at 240V (3-Phase), you need 2/0 AWG copper wire. This produces a voltage drop of 6.45V (2.69%) and delivers 233.5V at the load.
What size aluminum wire is required for 110 amps at 350 feet?
Using aluminum conductors (75°C rating), you should use 4/0 AWG to maintain voltage drop at 6.69V (2.79%).
What breaker size is needed for a 110A continuous load?
Under NEC 210.20(A), continuous loads require a circuit breaker rated at 125% of the continuous current (110A × 1.25 = 137.5A), which corresponds to a standard 150A circuit breaker.
