250 ft. 1/0 Black Stranded CU SIMpull THHN Wire

No. This product (THHN) will be much stiffer than welding cable and is intended for installation in conduit per the NEC. Welding Cable is much more flexible and is specifically designed for that application.

Our 500 ft. 1/0 Black Stranded CU SIMpull THHN Wire is 19.75 in (length) x 19.75 in (width) x 13.75 (height) and weighs about 195.01 lbs in total.

No it can't you need a 500kcmil Cu THHN.

Hello. It is not the same wire but similar. (Since ‘but’ means forget the prior and here’s the point) you could use this for jumper cables but I highly Do Not recommend this because jumper cables are made to flex. (There are 2 thoughts I’d like to share in addition to the meaning of ‘but’. One, as a child I learned bigger was better (leverage) yet later learned if the wrench is to big it wouldn’t fit in the area to reach the nut. Two, I learn harder to bend and flex better (stronger) yet later I learned if it’s too strong it would break into pieces more easily. Bonus: ‘yet’ means to keep the prior content knowledge and mix with what follows). Jumper Cables: Either buy 2awg (aka 2 gauge) jumper cables at a local auto store or go new tech and buy a portable NOCO Genius Boost. Lastly: I am seriously considering using this wire above in my engine compartment with red split loom for color and temperature protection because I have increased my alternator from 90amps to 120amps and added deep cycle batteries. Thus, if I use this wire for my situation it will be fine because the wire is not changing it’s Flexed or Bent shape. Flexing and bending rigid (strong) materials is how the strong materials break. Fun Experiment: Find some material that is difficult to bend yet you can bend it. Then bend it and un-bend it, and repeat. The bend location is getting stretched, warm, and brittle. This happens with any material (remember for survival skills). Peace. Sincerely, Don

That is correct! The above advice is based upon the current edition of the National Electric Code (NEC). Free access to the latest version of the NEC is available online at www.nfpa.org/freeaccess. The NEC and local building codes regulate the types of wire and cable that can be used in specific electrical applications, as well as the manner of installation. Check your local building codes before you start any wiring and cable electrical project and be sure to obtain required permits. When your work is complete, always have it inspected for compliance with local codes to ensure that it has been safely installed.

The gross weight of 1 x 500’ 1/0 CU THHN weighs 186.5 lbs. The weight of the reel is 9 lbs. for a total weight of 195.5 lbs.

These wires cannot be run exposed. Approved conduit is needed. Please consult a professional license electrician for this kind of work.

Yes it is code approved if installed in raceway.

If your service is for a residential dwelling of less than 400 amperes, and not a commercial structure, according to article 310.15(7)(1) of the National Electrical Code, the service and feeder conductor amperage demand may be de-rated by 83 percent. So 200 amperes becomes a demand amperage of 166 amperes. Therefore, since 1/0 THHN carries up to 170 amperes, it is allowable for a residential service and feeder according to the 2017 NEC.
