So I just talked to my supplier and they are suggesting I go with aluminum conductors for the feed. Some electrician there was trying to say that I could use parallel 500mcm aluminum to feed an 800amp section. The way I read 310.16 is I would need at least 700mcm aluminum to feed 800amps. Am I right or is the other idiot right?
I'd double check your specs if they specify copper only before you make the switch to aluminum or you could end up in a world of hurt.
