Re: slide choke wire size? - and duty cycle

Original poster: "Jack King" <ekklekktikk@xxxxxxxxxxx>
In my practical real world experience, you can get by using "undersized" wire - with limited duty cycle...
If you are looking for near continuous 100+ ampere runs, and the feel the need for appropriate gauge size, I suggest exploring a bi-filar type wind and paralelling for more current capacity. Also some of the rectangular copper ribbon isnt too bad to form, imho, square wire is the hardest to wind without any twists...
IF you need silicon strip for the slide portion, phenolic tunnells - all the way to completed chokes, gimme a ring...

On mine when i get the time to build it I'm gonna use 2awg solid. you can prob get away with 3-4 awg but I would go below that.

Hi everyone,
I am wanting to make a slide choke for my coil but i am not shure what gauge of wire to use. I will be using it to keep the power consumption down to around 100 amps at 120v. Any comments would be apreciated. 
Thanks in advance,

Robert A. in Austin
