Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.
500 mcm wire is a stranded wire with the equivalent of 500,000 circular mils in cross-sectional area.
A circular mil is a circle with a diameter of 1 mil, or 1/1000th of an inch.
500 kcmil means the same thing.
In common practice this size conductor is capable of handling 400 amps.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

What is the number for mcmd?
m = 1000 c = 100 d = 500 MCMD doesn't make sense MCM = 1900 MD = 1500 CM = 900 so it would be MCM + D = 1900 + 500 = 2400, but that would be written MMCD
What is mcm course?
what is mcm corce
What the roman numeral for mcm?
MCM = 1900
How much is roman numeral mcm?
MCM
What is MCM in Roman Numerals?
MCM is 1900
For a parallel feed to a 1200 Amp service 3 phase what size is the grounding electrode to main service with 3 600 mcm parallel runs?
500 mcm
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 size conduit for 3 500 mcm wires?
The required size of a conduit raceway for a 3-5000 mcm wire is 300 kcmil. It maximizes the limits on the wire fill for raceways.
What is the number for mcmd?
m = 1000 c = 100 d = 500 MCMD doesn't make sense MCM = 1900 MD = 1500 CM = 900 so it would be MCM + D = 1900 + 500 = 2400, but that would be written MMCD
What is the weight of 500 mcm thhn wire per foot?
2.2 lbs per ft
What gauge is 500 amp cable?
A 750 MCM copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 500 amps.
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.
What is full form of MCM?
mcm
What is mcm course?
what is mcm corce
If you have a 400 Amp service using 500 MCM What size grounding electrode conductor is required?
For a 400 Amp service with 500 MCM conductors, the minimum size grounding electrode conductor required would be 3/0 AWG copper or 250 kcmil aluminum based on the NEC Table 250.66.
What size copper wire for a run of 500 feet in parallel for a resident with a load of 600 amps single phase 240 volt?
This is a voltage drop question. A 500 MCM copper or 750 MCM aluminium conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 300 amps for 500 feet on a 240 volt system. Paralleling these conductors will allow the rating to be increased to 600 amps.
What is the answer of 0.5 mcm?
"0.5 mcm" is not a question.
