I need to run wire from my 200amp main to a 100amp sub panel at my shop, distance about 120 feet box to box, overhead. Aluminum preferred.
advise on size.....
I was looking at 2-2-2-4 Al but not sure if large enough considering the distance.
Shop will have a welder(220V) , AC and heat, lights are LED
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

If it’s a 90 degree rated conductor, #2 is fine. If it’s a 75degree conductor I’d step up to #1. 125’ is no problem.
If you use aluminum, make sure to use Copper Shield, NoLox or some other antiseize product. It will prevent corrosion and ensure a solid connection.

If you use aluminum, make sure to use Copper Shield, NoLox or some other antiseize product. It will prevent corrosion and ensure a solid connection. got that already figured

Shop will have a welder(220V) , AC and heat, lights are LED I buried mine cause I already had a trencher rented to run the water line. It was recommended to me to use "trailer twist" wire. I am not sure the gauge but it works well.
I love my country, but don't trust my government.
