What size copper wire is equal to 0 aluminum?
Copper wire gauge sizes are not equivalent to aluminum wire gauge sizes. The gauge sizes for copper and aluminum wires are different due to their differing electrical conductivity properties. It is not possible to directly convert a copper wire size to an equivalent aluminum wire size.
Types of enameled aluminum wire?
enameled round aluminum wire enameled flat aluminum wire enameled square aluminum wire
Thank you Is it possible to do the wiring in aluminum or is that old school?
Today the only use of aluminum wire is in service entrances and underground feeds where the larger sizes are needed. By using aluminum the overall project wire costs are kept to a minimum even with the bigger size needed over copper. Wiring branch circuit in aluminum has not been vogue for many years now.
What size wire for electric cook top?
AWG # 6 copper or AWG # 4 aluminum
What size pipe and size aluminum wire are required for a 100A sub panel off a 200A main service?
For a 100A subpanel, a minimum of 1.5-inch Schedule 80 PVC conduit or 1.25-inch rigid metal conduit is recommended. As for the aluminum wire, for a 100A feeder, you would typically use 1/0 AWG aluminum wire for a 3-wire setup or 2/0 AWG aluminum wire for a 4-wire setup. Always consult local electrical codes and a licensed electrician for precise specifications for your installation.
Can aluminum 600v wire work a 40 amp breaker?
Wire size is rated by Amperes of current. You did not mention the wire size of the aluminum wire, so there is no way to answer your question. The voltage rating is more a rating of how good the insulation around the wire is.
What size copper wire is equal to 0 aluminum?

What size amp circuit breaker should be used in a kitchen with aluminum wire?
Don't use aluminum wire inside the house.
What size aluminum wire for a 220v 200a service in conduit undrreground at 180 ft?
250 MCM aluminum minimum
Types of enameled aluminum wire?
enameled round aluminum wire enameled flat aluminum wire enameled square aluminum wire
What is the required wire size for 100?
A 100 amp service requires that you use AWG 4 copper wire or AWG 2 aluminum wire.
What size conduit and aluminum wire for a 400 foot run on a 120 240 volt system?
The key parameter in sizing wire is the current requirement. Once you know that you can look up value in a wire gauge table. The length of the run is important for longer runs because of the resistance of the wire itself. Aluminum wire requires a larger diameter than copper for the same current. Once you calculate the wire size you can then size the conduit.

What is the other alternative for copper wire?
An alternative to copper wire is aluminum wire. Aluminum wire is a less expensive option compared to copper and is commonly used in electrical applications where cost is a primary consideration. However, aluminum wire may have lower conductivity and can be more prone to oxidation.
What size aluminum wire on 225 amp?
300 kcmil @ 75°
What size wire for electric cook top?
AWG # 6 copper or AWG # 4 aluminum
What Wire size for 225 amp commercial panel?
3/0 or250 aluminum
