Was just at home depot and lowes. Hd has 2-2-2-4 alluminum for 1.42 per ft and the guy says it can handle 100amps. Lowes has 2-2-2-2 for 1.34 per ft. Can those handle 100 amps?

I have a titan elite. Both are china made. I used 8ga with a 30amp. Went wuth 8gauge because it was 5 bucks more.

Was just readig on aluminum wiring. Is it really a fire hazard? Id rather pay more if copper is better and safer.

At 1.60 for 110ft it puts me at about 180. Online i can get the xhhw for $160. And ill be able to run 100amps.

Ok cool. Thanks. I think im going to go with the xhhw aluminum. I read that it is more durable than thhn/thwn. I would go with the mhf but i cant find it sold by the foot. Home depot only has a 500ft roll.

Its 100 ft. And id like to do 100amps to future proof it. I dont want to have to run another wire later down the road because i need 100amps.

Ok once i dig it up ill check all the turns. What size wire and what kind do you recommend?

Ok sorry. Just got home and measured. It is 2 inches. And there only about 100ft with 7 turns.

Looks to be about a inch of pvc. About 200ft in lengt. Might be a little less. And about 5 turns

Ok so its says 6 awg with a 10 awg ground nm-b. Sound right? It is run underground in a conduit. Since i cant afford new wire right now i think ill just change the breaker at the main to 60. I should be ok as long as i dont add more stuff. When i do decied to run the new wire. What kind and size...

Called manufacture. They said it should be fine. This summer i will be tearing down a room thats in front of bay. Ill then move lift forward some. This time ill use bolts that it came with and epoxy. Thanks everyone for your help. Really appreciate it.

I will take a pic when i get home and upload using tapatalk. Hopefully itll work. If i need to run new wire, do i just call ms utility to come mark where it is?

Great.... so i dont even have the right cable in there. Let me double check it, and ill take pics so you guys can see. I hope i dont have to run new wire.....

Ok my pics arnt working so ill explain my best. According to my receipt the Anchors the guy sold me are 5" long. (The ones that came with lift are 6.) On the bolts that concern me, there is about half a inch of threads above nut. From concret up its about 2". Which means they are somewhere...

The wire is #6. Im trying to figure out what type. I know its copper. But cant read the label because its all worn off. The wire is insulated black with orange dot writting. It is ran underground in a tube. While my sub box can handle 100amps. I really dont want to redo that wire. It will be...
