Hi Guys,
I have an installation where i am running in a new sub panel that is 120 feet away from the main panel. It will be 120/208 single phase, all the loads will be 120v loads which include lights and general outlet circuits the total non cont load will be about 20/30 amps per phase.
With this basic info, single phase 120/208, thhn cu, 1-3 conductors in a conduit, ambient temp 26-30.
I am coming up with #6 at 30 amps i dont think this sounds right, basically i want to know what size of cable would be good to supply the sub panel given it would pull 20/30 amps per phase
Thanks in advance for the replies
