[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 392377, member: 9512"] Hi engineman, How is the cable to be run, as in, will you bury it, clip it to a wall etc.? This makes a difference in the current carrying capacity of the cable. You say it's running from an alternator, is this d.c. or a.c. output. You said fused @ 100A per phase, so I am guessing 3 ph a.c.? Do you want to consider the requirements of BS 7671 so that the install will be compliant, and,in the event of an issue, your insurance company can't wriggle out of the situation? Or, are you just interested in a cable that will carry 100A without melting? BTW, this might sound harsh, but it's not meant that way, I just need to understand a little more of what you have and want to achieve. [/QUOTE]
