Description: The revised AWG Wire Table for Tesla Coils.
REVISED AWG Wire Table for Coilers REVISED AWG Wire Table for Coilers : "'Tesla List'" < : REVISED AWG Wire Table for Coilers : Fri, 10 Apr 1998 00:05:41 -0500 ---------- From: Thomas McGahee [SMTP:tom_mcgahee-at-sigmais-dot-com] Sent: Thursday, April 09, 1998 7:59 PM To: Tesla-2; tesla-at-pupman-dot-com Subject: REVISED AWG Wire Table for Coilers Fellow Coilers, A few people e-mailed me to say that I was a bit conservative on the amp ratings for the AWG wire table I e-mailed to the TESLA and TESLA-2 lists. I realize that we Coilers love to push things to the limit. In going back over my AWG sources I did find one source that went as high as 23.679 amps for AWG #10. Someone mentioned that UL codes allowed 23 amps for AWG #12. Such a large value must be assuming the wire is enclosed in a metal conduit which is acting as a heat sink. I have re-written my program to reflect a Max recommended continuous current of 23.679 amps for a #10 AWG bare copper wire cooled by ambient air. I am sorry if sending this second revised AWG table means a few more seconds of download time for the List members. Dump the earlier table and file this revised table away for future reference. Hope this helps. Fr. Tom McGahee *************** AWG Wire Table for BARE COPPER Wire Compiled by a program written by Fr. Tom McGahee Compiled by Fr.
