Wire Size for 347 Amps

Typical copper and aluminum wire gauges for 347 amps across common run lengths on a 120V circuit, sized to keep voltage drop under 3% and respect the NEC 240.4(D) small-conductor rule. Actual install sizing depends on conductor material, insulation/termination temperature rating, cable type, ambient and bundling derates, and local code.

200 ft	500 kcmil	no aluminum pick	3.58V (2.98%)	check_circle OK
250 ft	750 kcmil	no aluminum pick	2.97V (2.47%)	check_circle OK

500 ft	Exceeds available gauges

Aluminum is not typical for 10 AWG and smaller branch-circuit conductors in residential settings. Copper gauges use the NEC 240.4(D) branch-circuit cap, not raw 75°C ampacity.
