What is a good electrical conductor that can be used in machinery?

Copper is an excellent electrical conductor commonly used in machinery due to its high conductivity, flexibility, and resistance to corrosion. It is often utilized in wiring, motors, and transformers. Aluminum is another good conductor that is lighter and less expensive, making it suitable for specific applications where weight is a concern. Both materials effectively facilitate electrical flow in various mechanical systems.


How many amps is 400 kcmil good for?

The ampacity of a 400 kcmil (thousand circular mils) conductor depends on factors such as the conductor material (copper or aluminum), insulation type, and installation conditions. For example, a 400 kcmil copper conductor can typically carry around 400 to 600 amps at standard temperature ratings in open air or conduit, while an aluminum conductor of the same size may carry slightly less. Always refer to the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local codes for precise applications and ampacity tables.
