| Conductor | Ampacity at 75°C | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Copper 500 MCM | 380 A | Feeders, service conductors, industrial distribution |
| Aluminum 500 MCM | 310 A | Service entrance, feeders, utility distribution |
Ampacities are typical values for 75°C terminations in raceway or cable, based on NEC 310.16. Actual ampacity depends on termination rating, ambient temperature, bundling and installation method, and must be verified against the code edition in force for your project.
Common applications for this size include 600 to 800 amp feeders, switchgear connections, utility service. When those projects close out, the remainder is usually a partial reel or two, and that is exactly what we purchase.
Large conductor is priced against current wire pricing, not scrap. Copper 500 MCM generally carries a wider premium over metal value than aluminum, because more projects specify copper at this size and the resale market is deeper. Sealed reels with legible print command the strongest offers; partial reels are priced on estimated footage.
If the print is gone or the jacket is damaged, the material is priced as conductor. That is still a legitimate sale, but it is usually worth checking the print first.
Send the reel tags and spool photos and we will come back with a range for your lot.
