Dennis Alwon Moderator Staff member Location Chapel Hill, NC Occupation Retired Electrical Contractor Aug 7, 2011 #3 Are you trying to size the wire that feeds the main distribution 600 amp breaker? or are you feeding from the 600 to a panel with 409 amp load? I also would love to hear how 400AL will work.
