Feeder cable buyers in Louisiana
Feeder cable is the middle of the distribution system — bigger than branch wiring, smaller than medium voltage — and it is where most plant surplus value actually sits.

Sell feeder cable in Louisiana
Feeder cable is multi-conductor power cable in the 600 V to 1 kV range, used between switchgear, panelboards, motor control centres and transformers. Constructions include tray-rated and armored types, in copper and aluminium, from 8 AWG up to 1000 kcmil.
- Construction, size and footage, not weight alone
- Reel tags and jacket print travel with the lot
- Pickup planned around your site, not ours
Photographs of reel tags and jacket print can follow by text to 614-715-3047 or email to saleselectricalbuyers@gmail.com.

What this family covers 02
Feeder cable we review in Louisiana
Plant expansions are fed with it, and plant expansions almost always over-order it. A cancelled project or a revised single-line diagram can leave several full reels in the warehouse, each worth a proper review rather than a weight ticket.
Identification 03
What identifies feeder cable
The facts that decide how a lot is read. Send what the reel says rather than a description from memory.
| Voltage rating | 600 V to 1 kV |
|---|---|
| Construction | Multi-conductor with ground, tray-rated, armored or sheathed |
| Sizes we see | 8 AWG through 1000 kcmil, 3 and 4 conductor most common |
| Conductor metal | Copper and aluminium; aluminium dominates larger feeders |
| Condition markers | Jacket and armour condition, reel flange integrity, print legibility |
| What identifies it | Jacket print, conductor count and size, reel tag and project records |
If a detail is unknown, mark it unknown. A stated uncertainty is workable. A guess that turns out wrong costs everybody a second visit.
Constructions 04
Feeder cable lots we buy
Read separately, because they are valued separately.
Copper feeder on full reels
The strongest lot in this family: documented lengths, legible print, indoor storage.
Aluminium feeder
Larger aluminium assemblies from utility-side and plant distribution work, read against aluminium content.
Armored feeder
MC or interlocked armour constructions from exposed and hazardous-area runs.
Remainders from a switchgear change
Partial reels after a revised design. Reviewed on measured length rather than the reel's original size.
How a lot is read 05
How feeder cable is evaluated
For feeder cable the review is nearly arithmetic: conductor metal, size, conductor count, documented length. Everything else adjusts that number, but nothing replaces it.
The adjustments are real, though. A reel that sat outdoors for three summers has a chalked jacket and possibly water in the core, and an aluminium feeder with a corroded ground will not be installed in a new run whatever its footage.
Safety first. Feeder cable is often the largest conductor on site and the hardest to move safely. Rigging, reel handling and transport planning are part of the lot discussion, not an afterthought.

Questions —
Feeder cable questions
Do you buy full reels only?
No, but full reels are the simplest and usually the best value. Partial reels are reviewed on measured length, and short remainders are read as part of a larger lot.
How is aluminium feeder valued?
Against aluminium content and the construction, not against copper. Larger aluminium feeders with documented lengths are still worth a full review.
What documentation helps?
The reel tag, the purchase order or project record, and the cable schedule if it exists. Any of those converts an estimate into a known quantity.
Can feeder cable be cut to length for transport?
It can, but it should not be. Cutting destroys the documented length and usually reduces the value more than the freight saves. Discuss handling before anyone cuts.
