Or if you have a good quantity of MCM you can blend a little 85% in
I just got a minimal amount wow that low of percentage huh. I tried to calculate percentage of a cord once got 60% rate mite be wrong though maybe my scale is off? It was 2lbs 9oz whole and i got 1lb 5oz bare i think it was 4/4 not sure but im close to the percentage right? How do you calculate the percentage ? I wonder if its how i do it. Also why would i get 70% for 12 romex and 58% for 10 romex wouldnt 10 gauge have a higher percentage rate? I thought the lower the number gauge like 10,6,4,ect the higher the recovery its not true then?
