Frequently Asked Questions
Is copper better than aluminum for wiring?
Copper provides higher conductivity and more ampacity in a smaller diameter, making it preferred for branch circuits, control wiring, and where space or termination reliability matters. Aluminum is a good choice for large feeders and overhead lines when weight and cost are priorities.
How much larger must aluminum be to match copper?
A useful rule of thumb is to upsize aluminum by about two AWG sizes to match copper ampacity, but final sizing must use NEC ampacity tables and account for insulation type, ambient temperature, and voltage drop.
Can I use aluminum for a 200 amp service?
Yes. A common practice is 2/0 AWG copper or 4/0 AWG aluminum for 200 amp residential service conductors, subject to NEC rules, device ratings, and local authority approval. Confirm with code tables for your installation.
Are aluminum connections still a problem?
Modern alloys and approved connectors reduce many historical issues, but correct termination hardware, installation torque, and devices listed for aluminum are essential. For guidance, see technical testing on aluminum and copper connections.
