Voltage Drop

If voltage drop is to be considered in takeoff, Use the table provided in the drawings. If no table is provided, use the following:

Wire Size Max Length
#12 100ft
#10 200ft
#8 >200ft

Unit Load Center Subfeeds

Route from meter center to unit load center.

Voltage Drop

Larger of the listed demand current and 80% of the panel rating.

Pigtail Adaptors

Use where conductors are oversized (for voltage drop or otherwise).

Load Center Size Max Feeder Size
100A 2/0 AWG
125A 3/0 AWG
150A 4/0 AWG
225A 300 kcmil
400A 500 kcmil
