How many amps can be applied to a 400 sq mm aluminium wire?
530 amps in average conditions, more in cold weather. <<>> The closest conversion will be; 405 mm2 is equal to 800 MCM AWG. A 800 MCM aluminium conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 445 amps.
How many amps is 250 MCM wire good for?
300 Amps if used for service entrance conductors. Table 310.15
If service is fed with service entrance conductors of 500 MCM THHN copper and fused at 400 amps What would be the minimum size of a copper grounding electrode conductor?
For a service rated at 400 amps using 500 MCM THHN copper conductors, the minimum size for a copper grounding electrode conductor (GEC) can be determined using the National Electrical Code (NEC) guidelines. According to NEC Table 250.66, for a service of 400 amps, the minimum size for a copper GEC is 4 AWG. However, if the GEC is connected to a ground rod, it must be a minimum of 6 AWG copper.
How many amps can 350mcm copper handle?
The ampacity of 350 MCM (thousand circular mils) copper wire can vary based on factors such as insulation type, installation conditions, and ambient temperature. Generally, under typical conditions, 350 MCM copper wire can handle approximately 400-500 amps. For precise applications, it's important to consult the National Electrical Code (NEC) or an ampacity chart specific to the installation conditions.
What size of copper do you need for a 1250 amps rating?
There are different combination to obtain a current capacity of 1250 amps. A parallel run of #1250 MCM wires. A triple run of #600 MCM wire. The most flexible run would be with a quad run of #350 MCM wire.
How much current does 300 sq mm cable carry?
A 228 sq mm conductor equates to 450 MCM. A conductor of 450 MCM is not a standard AWG wire size. A standard 400 MCM will carry 380 amps. A standard 500 MCM will carry 430 amps. Difference between 400 and 500 MCM amperage's is 50 amps. Transposing between the two amperage's of 50 amps will be 380 + 25 = 405 or 430 - 25 = 405 amps. This is a very rough calculated answer for the question.

400 amp service what size wire?
A 750 MCM wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 500 amps. De rated to 80% will allow 400 amps on the wire. A 900 MCM wire with an insulation factor of 75 degrees C is rated at 520 amps. A 1500 MCM wire with an insulation factor of 60 degrees C is rated at 520 amps. Parallel 250 MCM will give you the same usage. A 250 MCM wire with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C are rated at 255 and 265 respectively. 255 x 2 = 510 x 80% = 408 amps. 265 x 2 = 530 x 80% = 424 amps.
What size feeder wire for three phase 320 amp meter serving two 200 amp panels?
2/0 if copper is used; 4/0 if aluminum is used. The neutral and ground are usually smaller. 2/0 is only rated for 185 amps. 3/0 copper is rated for 210 amps, 250 MCM is rated at 215 amps if aluminum is used.
What is the amperage rating of 500 MCM copper conductor?
It depends on a lot of factors. Generally speaking, if the insulation is THHN then the rating is 350 amps. If the insulation is THWN then the rating is 310 amps. The ampere rating for wire depends on the temperature of the environment it will be used in, the insulation rating and the number of circuits installed in a conduit. There are also other factors to consider... like voltage drop in long runs.
Amps on a 600 mcm copper?
475 amps, per NEC 310-16. Note that this is a maximum; there are many reasons to derate the current carrying capacity of the wire.

What is the amp rating of 500mcm?
The amp rating of a 500 MCM (thousand circular mil) cable can vary depending on the insulation type and installation conditions. Generally, a rough estimate for a 500 MCM cable with THHN insulation in a typical installation would be around 380-400 amps. However, it is recommended to consult the manufacturer's specifications or a qualified electrician to determine the exact ampacity for a specific application.
What wire size should you use for 400 amps?
generally size 500 MCM, but there can be factors which would require up-sizing, such as high ambient temperature long run causing excessive voltage drop multiple circuits in same raceway
What size service cable is required for 120 volt 150 amp direct bury 400 feet single phase?
A 1000 MCM copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 150 amps for 400 feet on a 120 volt system.
