Subject - Wire gauge chart
seagull369 Was wondering if anyone knows of a site that has a chart (or equivalent) which lists the min/max ampacity limits for a given wire gauge, and which also considers the length of the wire as well. Im looking for something that could would cover AWG sizes 6/0 to 56, and wire lengths from 0-50ft, or as close to that as possible. Thanks very much.
Ryan_J Nevermind.
rabbitgun I believe Ohmekie Ampeldorf wrote a thesis for his doctorate on just this subject. Although, as I remember, ** Furrowed brow and rubbing chin as if in very deep thought** the thesis covered wire in sizes from 5/0 to 66 or something like that. Maybe you could Google this?
lctrc789 I wonder if Ohmekie Ampledorf is related to Jimmy Volta.
Or perhaps the cousin of Lukius Joules.
seagull369 This was more what I was looking for
