    100 amp panel
    Hi I am wondering what kind of wire I need for wiring a 100 stablok panel
    Here's the description

    I've wired the garage up and I put a 100 panel now I need to bring the wire 180 feet to the house to the main breaker in the house wich the main breaker is 200 amp
    I have place for a 100 amp breaker

    So what king of wire would I need and how would I do this

    Thanks

    Is power Originating From Garage or from House, You built Garage first, And Doing House Second? Is Meter at Garage?
    200 Amps 2/0, 3/0 would likely be needed for distance.
    100 Amps #4, #3 would likely be needed for distance.
    You never can go wrong using Larger Wire(reduces Voltage Drop)
    5% Total.
