Itll pass current but lots of the industrial electrical wire has lots of resistance on purpose so they can pass large amounts of voltage safely, the copper is probably not oxygen free either so it will corrode SUPER quick. It would work its just not practical, pure copper is worth a shit ton now so youd be better off scrapping it.

if you wana laugh your ass off go to 3 min in this vid

ah damn, its wires like that i pull down sometimes


in denmark pure copper is like 6-7 $ each kg, and 1 meter of quality 0g cost around 50 $, i doubt there is even 1 kg pure copper in 1 meter 0g, so i just though it would be alot more valueable as a wire than pure copper

the company i work for knows its alot worth so we cant just take what we want, but im sure i would be allowed to take few wires here and there
