Questions about this size
- What breaker can 1000 kcmil URD Aluminum Cable go on?
- Its ampacity is 445 A (75 C column of NEC Table 310.16). The breaker can be that size, or the next standard size up where NEC 240.4(B) allows it. Derate first for more than three current-carrying conductors or high ambient heat.
- How far can I run it before voltage drop is a problem?
- At 445 A on a 240 V single phase circuit, about 380 ft one way keeps the drop at 3 percent, the figure an informational note to NEC 210.19(A) suggests for branch circuits. Try other loads in the voltage drop calculator.
- Can it be buried directly in the ground?
- Yes. It is rated for direct burial; the minimum cover is in NEC Table 300.5 (24 in. for direct burial under the general condition).
- Can I buy it by the foot?
- Yes, cut to length in whole feet from 50 ft, or on 500 ft spools. Cut wire is final sale; uncut spools can be returned within 30 days.
