∙ 11y ago
A 350 MCM copper wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 325 amps. If the question is referring to maintaining a load of 300 amps then you have to up size the wire size because the conductor is only allowed to be loaded to 80%. A 500MCM copper wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 395 amps x 80% = 316 amps.

What size service conductors do you need for a single phase 600 amp commercial panel?
The size of wire for service entrance conductors for a 400 amp 3 phase service could be 500 MCM copper. This is very large size wire and difficult to bend and shape, to connect to terminals in the main disconnect and distribution panel. This problem is solved by using parallel conductors or on higher ampacities triple conductors. Using parallel conductors the wire size would be three ought (3/0) copper.
