    Very High Temperature/Current Help

    Hi Team, Thank you for all of your comments, you have given me a lot to think on! @FacEngrPE - Thank you for your comments and suggestions, I am concerned on the oxidation and loss of mechanical strength from working at the higher temperature. We have talked internally about using steel...

    Very High Temperature/Current Help

    Hi Cranky108, thank you for the response. Having resistances in the connection is an item of concern, so I need to make sure that the cross section for the current flow will be large enough to facilitate the the peak load. I can completely rule out Aluminum, as its melting point is 660C. The...

    Very High Temperature/Current Help

    Greeting, I am a mechanical engineer and am trying to figure out some power transfer stuff and need some help. I have a black-box that operates at 1100F (600C). The main lines going in/out, will be pushing 6000 Amps (peak) and a pretty low voltage comparably, 2 Volts (open circuit). I need to...
