Â* Aluminum is cheaper than copper , and there are calculators online to
figure out the wire size . Search wire sizing calculator , the results I
got for your case are there - I know the numbers but you'll have to find
them for yourself . For my shop at 100A/60 feet I need #1 copper or 1/0
aluminum . This information was VERY easy to find , are you stupid or
just lazy ?
