for more info on AAL usage
and Reference:
1. Table 4-22 Aluminum Conductors on page 4-64
4/0 "Oxlip"
0.1663 in**2
365 A current carrying capacity (under certain constraints, e.g. conductor temperature rise 40°C over 40°C ambient, 2ft/sec crosswind, and emissivity factor of 0.5 without sun)
7 x 0.1739 number and diameter of wires, in
0.522 conductor diameter, in
3830 rated strength, lb
198.7 nominal weight in lb per 1000'
etc.
Also, clarify a word "capacity" in your posting.
