Hi all. Haven't been on here in months. Sorry if this has been discussed recently and I missed it.
Was just looking at THHN/THWN and XHHW cable prices in #2 and larger from one of local supply houses and my goodness is aluminum "cheap" compared to copper, even adjusting for less ampacity. Example, #2 AL XHHW - $290 / M - #3 CU THHN/THWN - $1120 / M (per thousand).
Are you guys seeing specs come out with aluminum being allowed or spec'd for feeders? Any of you using it?
Thanks.
