[QUOTE="djdilliodon!, post: 8788044, member: 684299"] You would be amazed how well copper holds up. It will get an oxidation layer and then that’s about it. I’ve seen power cables in the ground subjected to oils, salt, and tons of other chemicals etc that last 100 years plus lol. Most of the failures that do happen are from the insulation failing and the cables cross phasing. Tinned copper imo is the cats meow. The problem these days is it’s all a ton of money! I’m tempted to just use the 500 mcm at my 9-5 as my power cables but the stuff is as stiff as a rock 😂. It’s not fun bending that stuff! I’ll be stuck using welding cable unless I can find some tinned ofc at a good price which I have yet to ☹️. [/QUOTE]
