Hi all,
Yes, I agree with Gary here. The total volt-amps of a conductor has
no baring on the current only carrying capacity of a condutor. It's
strict-
ly a matter of amperage vs the cross-section and the conducting material
that determines the required conductor size. That's why multiple mega-
watts can be transported via a relatively conductors for hundreds
of miles through power transmission lines. The ROC does become an
issue with very high voltages and requires a certain size OD of the con-
ductor to hold down corona losses. However, 10 amps current flow
at 50 volts requires no more cross section of a given conductor than
would 10 amps at 50,000 volts!
