What is the cost of 1 0 copper wire?
1/0 Black Stranded XHHW Wire. ($2.73 /ft.)
What is a 1/0 wire?
1/0 is 0 AWG, 2/0 is 00 AWG, 3/0 is 000 AWG and so on with more zeros being thicker wire. Pure aluminum wire is equivalent in current carrying capacity of a copper wire two gauges smaller, so pure aluminum 1/0 wire is equivalent to 2 AWG copper wire…
What is the difference between 1 0 and 1 AWG?
But looking at the title of this thread, are you referring the difference between #1 AWG and 1/O AWG? There is a difference, 1/O is one wire size larger.
Does 0 gauge wire make a difference?
A basic rule of thumb is this. For up to 500 watts RMS, 8 gauge is sufficient. From 1000 – 1500 watts RMS you should be running 2 gauge. Over 1500 watts RMS you need 0 gauge and a few other wiring and vehicle upgrades.
What is the diameter of 1 0 copper wire?

How many amps can 1 0 wire carry?
How many amps can a 1/0 gauge wire handle? At 75°C, it has a rated ampacity of 150 amps; essentially, the 1/0 W wire is a 150 amp wire size. At 60°C, it can handle up to 125 amps, and it can handle up to 170 amps at higher temperatures (90°C). 0 gauge wire can be used for a number of different electrical applications.
What size copper wire is good for 100 amps?
#4
A 100 amp sub panel wiring size requirement is #4 for copper wires and #2 for aluminum wires.
What size copper wire is rated for 100 amps?
For 100 AMP service, you’ll need a #4 AWG copper wire or #2 AWG aluminum or copper-clad wire. Make sure to limit your voltage drop to 3% regardless of distance.
