A nanotechnology-based manufacturing process from American Superconductor (Westborough, MA) promises a 30% increase in current-carrying capacity of the company's 2G high-temperature wire. Enabling a ...

As we saw in Part 1, the correct sizing of conductors is more complicated than it appears. One of the reasons is the way temperature affects the resistance of a conductor. Higher temperatures mean ...

A new cooling technology has been proposed for EV high-current charging cables. The system relies on the use of subcooled flow boiling to remove the heat from the cable. Experiments were performed to ...

The alternative text for this image may have been generated using AI. We numerically estimated the ampacity of the CNT–Cu composite by assuming that the material ruptured by current-induced Joule ...

Voltage Drop Calc gives line workers a tool to determine the proper wire size for an electrical circuit, based on the voltage drop and current carrying capacity of an electrical circuit. Available ...

Kenji Hata (Prime Senior Researcher), the Nanotube Research Center (NTRC; Director: Sumio Iijima) of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST; President: Ryoji ...

There are two main considerations for sizing DC wiring from the output of a power supply to its load. They are ampacity (fancy term for the number of Amps) and voltage-drop (remember ohms law: V = I x ...
