what is the difference between 2/0 AWG and 2 AWG which makes the 2/0 AWG cost about 3 times as much? Reggie

These are different sizes #2 and 00 (or 2/0) 00 is about twice the size of #2, 00 has about twice the capacity of #2. dEmO From: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com [mailto:Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of r good Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2008 3:07 PM To: Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com Subject: [Cal_Boats] battery cable what is the difference between 2/0 AWG and 2 AWG which makes the 2/0 AWG cost about 3 times as much?

And if you've hauled some scrap copper to the salvage yard lately, you'll see why the larger conductors cost more. If you've got some copper scrap sitting around, this is an opportune moment to turn it into cash. I had some old plumbing pipe, some old electrical cable, and a defunct electric motor, a small collection but it was transformed into two $50 bills the other day. Imagine my surprise. Chris Campbell
