Hello, I'm looking for some advice on wire sizing.....
I have a Hayward omnilogic control panel. It has the subpanel built in to it and it accepts up to 240 VAC at 125amp max. I'm planning on running a 220 line that would supply 80 amps to the panel. The run is 150ft including all bends. I'm not sure if I need to run 4 conducters at 6awg or 8 awg..... It will be buried in conduit. I tried using a wire gauge calculator and I'm showing that I need 3/0?
My pump is going to be wired 220 and everything else is 110. I will have a salt water generator and a few gfi outlets- nothing elaborate. Any advice? I'm not an electrician, I just want to make the run then have an electrician hook it up but I need to get the right wired there for him. I live in NJ is it matters for climate ect....
Thanks
Glenn
