Found the following quote while looking at a site for wire gauge information. Maybe we should incorporate something similar in the forum.

I was talking about the disclaimer not the ampacity chart!
I'm working on the buried cable that goes to the hanger not the airplane. Trying to figure out what the 4-0 cable the co-op loaded on my truck will carry versus the 4 I had ordered. Don't think I'll be able to splice those two sizes.
