Default Mcm ?

Conductors (both copper and aluminum) are typically categorized in American Wire Guage (AWG), except when aluminum is used on a 200-amp circuit it is categorized as #250 MCM. What does MCM stand for?

Excellent! Thanks to you both. I found lots of references to kcmil but couldn't find MCM. Much appreciated.
