how big of wire will work with this? 500MCM ?

I'm not sure, I know that I run 2awg through it without much difficulty. I do anything larger with a razor knife and a vise.

I have not tried a wire that size yet. Common since tells me that if the wire will fit between the rollers and into the pilot hole, it will cut it. I have paid for mine about 800 times already and it is not a year old yet. Silll using the same blade. Great tool!!! Keith

It will take wire up to 3/4". 500 MCM Is about .82 inches. 350 MCM will fit depending on the insulation. Good tool to have. I have stripped from #14 up to #2.

if i interpret my wire size correctly 500 mcm is pretty close to 3/4" in of inch. if i am right that the wire must have very thick insulation along with a cloth type material under that. The unit you see cuts through the smaller awg's with no problem because after i make the adjustments on the 3 wire guides,I then set the cutting blade down on the wire. I can pull a spools of house wire till my arms drop off, you would need a donkey to pull 3/4 inch wire through the hand operated coppermine. If you didn't read the spec's or suggest you call the makers of the coppermine and get a more concrete answer. I think they make stripping units that are electric, so all you do is adjust and feed the wire through. if i interpret my wire size correctly 500 mcm is pretty close to 3/4" in of inch. if i am right that the wire must have very thick insulation along with a cloth type material under that.

The product description says "Good for wires from 24 AWG to 250 kcm," I personaly have never worked with 500MCM wire to give you an honest answer. I have worked with some larger wire and have found that depending on my mood, and the wire jacket, its easier to strip with a razor blade knife of some sorts.

No, you will need to extend the wire. I don't recall the exact length, but you'll need to add an extension.

Dear Bashir A., the wire measures 1.3 mm in diameter. Hope this is helpful. H. Slovic

I bought the mating (weatherized) MC4 connectors; not expensive, but the crimp tool is pricey. Of course you can cut off the extant MC4 connectors and splice to any appropriate wire pair. Your chosen 16AWG wire is sufficient for the approx 2.5A max current if you are not going too far, (perhaps 20 ft or less; remember voltage drop is a function of distance). If the cables have shielding ( I think they don't), be certain to prevent a short to the shield where you splice. You can look under the terminal cover to see if they are shielded; I did, but can't remember for sure.

It's about 1.0m in length (39-3/8"). You'll likely need to buy an SMA M/F extension cable. Amazon has them in various lengths at a very reasonable prices. Rapid Rabbitt

Ideally, you should use a 200amp fuse if I understand your question correctly. Wiki American wire gauge for more info.. Hope this helps.

Should work fine its good heavy wire. One wire is stripped which is nice for hooking up speakets

If it is wired in a 2 ohm configuration it will drive at 500 watts without any problems.

The wires I bought are only 5 and 5/8 inches. These worked for what I needed. Anne L

I think you'll need wire as the plus and minus protrude maybe 1/2 inch if memory serves me right!

Should, but make sure the mil-spec plug has the same pin hookup as your ml 500. The lamps I bought, the pins did not line up and I only had high beams. Sent the back could not change pin location.

I'm not a mechanical engineer, but based on the specifications given in the description, I would say it depends. According to the description: Tensile strength - 303-333 ksi (min. - max.) Tensile Strength Max 335000 PSI Outside Diameter 0.051 inches So, the two tensile strengths are in slight disagreement. If you go with the lower value for safety, then it supports 303ksi (which I'm assuming means kilopounds/square inch). With a diameter of .051 inches, that works out to a cross section of: pi * diameter = 3.14 * .051 = .16 square inches Assuming tensile strength scales linearly with the cross section (it probably doesn't), then the total amount the wire should be able to support before failing is roughly: .016 square inches * 303 kilopounds/square inch = 48 kilopounds Which is far more than necessary to support 500lbs. The "depends" part comes from the fact that I'm not an engineer, and don't fully understand the forces at work. Be careful, and don't use it for anything safety-critical unless you get a real engineer to evaluate it!

This unit will load up to 1.5amp at 10 watts-At 6v you will have more than enough current to satisfy the 500ma-I have bought several of these power supplies for a couple of different custom projects. I wire them directly into circuit boards so i cannot speak to the adapter plugs, however I can speak to the robust construction of the components. I have one that is in service for up to 12 hours at a time and it works well with not problem.

I havn't had a chance to try mine yet but I do agree completely with "FlickerKing's" answer. It should work fine. P.S. If you extend the length you maybe should use at least 18 guage stranded wire for better performance.

Should work fine - I would suggest using minimum 18ga wire, especially if it's a long run. The combined current draw would be approx 4.5A which a lighter plug should easily handle.

3/4 inch for the 500 + 800, I believe the 1200 is bigger...It should also come with the threaded to barb outlet connector. I upgraded from the 500 to the 800 and am very happy.

I intend to use at least 500 feet. I don't think there is a limit, so long as the wire is thick enough for 7 ampere.
