[QUOTE="Papermaker85, post: 8485883, member: 572595"] you know CCA is copper coated aluminum correct? i dont suggest aluminum wire and you better make **** sure that if you do you use the correct connectors for aluminum. tinned copper has about 15% lower ampacity rating. alot of those companies dont have to abide by the NEC standars set in place. They can say its a tinned coating but truth is it could be bronzed with aluminum coating. alot of companies ie cheat and steal to make it. when it comes to electrical ESP the high powered situations find stuff that abides by the NEC standards and meets code. its there for a really good reason. 1 protection 2 reliability.
