500 MCM (thousand circular mils) is equivalent to approximately 3/0 AWG (3 aught) in the American Wire Gauge (AWG) system. MCM is often used for larger conductors, particularly in industrial applications, while AWG is more common for smaller wires. The exact conversion may vary slightly depending on the specific context or wire type, but 3/0 AWG is the standard equivalent for 500 MCM.

What size circuit breaker for GFCI circuit in a normal size bath?
Normally it is a 20 amp using AWG 12/2 gauge wire. But it really depends on what size wire is on that circuit. If it is white AWG 14 gauge then use a 15 amp breaker. If it is yellow AWG 12 gauge then use a 20 amp breaker.

Power is the product of amps x volts, it has nothing to do with wire size.
What does 250kcmil AWG mean?
It is a wire size, the equivalent cross sectional area in thousands of circular mils. e.g. 500 MCM or kcmil = 500,000 circular mils. The circular mil is a unit of area used especially when denoting the cross-sectional size of a wire. It is the equivalent area of a circle whose diameter is 0.001 (10-3) inch. AWG stands for American Wire Guage.
