If I combine 3 conductors of equal length in parallel, is
the resulting size equal to 3 times the Circular Mil area?
For example, #4 is 42,080cm so are three #4's close to 2/0
(134,200cm) in size? Is it as simple as this? Assuming the
conductors can not be removed individually, does this mean
the current capacity is equal to the resulting wire size?<br>

Thanks, Larry<br>
