He said its says 500, my guess is its 500 MCM wire. Not the biggest I have seen, I interned for a power company last summer and saw 750 MCM, even bigger than that.

Actually, it's the size of a lot of power lines, smaller than many too.

This is for a store... i'd say around 400+ ft of it was used. (4 runs of 100ft each). and in total it was around 3k. However i dont know if its longer than that, but its pretty long, lol
