I just noticed that Home Depot sells a 200 foot reel of bare
#4 wire for $36.

If I cut this into four 50 foot lengths and CADwelded it to my
four ground rods would it be an acceptable substitute for a
single run of 0/0?

Will I need to twist the four wires together?

Will the mould for the CADweld process keep the tension off the
individual wires so they don't melt and pull apart?

- Thanks! & 73, DavidC  K1YP
