Ampacity	100 A (NEC Table 310.16, 75 C column)
Largest breaker	100 A, or the next standard size up where NEC 240.4(B) allows. With 60 C rated terminals (the NEC 110.14(C) default at 100 A or less unless the equipment is marked 75 C) it is 85 A.
Voltage drop at 100 ft	4.90 V, 2.0 percent at 100 A and 240 V single phase
Run length for 3 percent drop	About 145 ft one way at 100 A and 240 V
Outside diameter	1.009 in

What breaker can 3/3 MC Copper Cable go on?: Its ampacity is 100 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. With 60 C rated terminals (the NEC 110.14(C) default at 100 A or less unless the equipment is marked 75 C) it is 85 A.
How far can I run it before voltage drop is a problem?: At 100 A on a 240 V single phase circuit, about 145 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 I buy it by the foot?: Yes, cut to length in whole feet from 25 ft, or on 50, 100, 125, 250, 500, 1,000 ft spools. Cut wire is final sale; uncut spools can be returned within 30 days.
