feed line for 150 amp sub panel Q

[the gnome]

Post 30 I read it as you where going to use #2 wire from the breaker to your sub and that cant be done. Now that we have all of that corrected you should be fine...

I dont think you can buy 4/4 with a smaller grd wire. I never seen it.. You would need to run all individual wires to do that

EDITED....
ok, i determined the wire size I already have for free, a couple hundred foot of it or more and its a #4 thwn
the guy at the elec. supply said its rated at 85amps if its THWN, checked online and it's correct.
i can get a 70amp sub panel for $35, so it looks like i can power the entire room now with my #4thwn

btw here is a great wire gauge /ampere chart that shows size-amps-and its respective casing on the wire

post 30 was edited,
probably before you read about the wire actually being a #4.
not #2 which I was only speculating the size in the early posts.
and yes, this is individual lengths of #4 wire,
not all bundled into one


ok so were all on the same page now and I'm much happier knowing can use all this free #4 to wire the sub with.
saves $$ thats is much needed else where.
