What’s the difference between Kcmil and MCM?
Glossary Term: kcmil MCM is an abbreviation for thousands of circular mils, an old measurement of wire gauge. 1 MCM = 1 kcmil = 0.5067 square milimeters. A mil is 1/1000 inch. A wire 200 mils in diameter is 40 MCM.
When to use a 500 mcm copper conductor?
A 500 MCM copper conductor is good for 380 amps. If the load is 380 amps or less, then you can use a 500 MCM. If the load is 381 amps or higher, you cannot use a 500 MCM. If you have not calculated the load, and you plan to use a 400 amp overcurrent device to protect a 400 amp panel, then a 500 MCM will not be sufficient.
