Thanks for the response,

I understand aluminum wire is not desirable, but I aquired this wire through a electric utility company and was told that much of the power lines are aluminum wire.

At my farm the electric panel with receptacle is located about 75 feet to where I want to park my trailer. I need to extend the electric reach to my trailer.
Are you saying it would be better I use a 75 feet of 10 guage copper wire than the 4 guage aluminum wire ?
