[QUOTE="engineman, post: 392430, member: 26187"] Hello The Snake and Spark 2014, Thank you for your replies to my question. I have this old 1920's 3 phase alternator working at 400 volts AC which is coupled to a large 1920's Blow lamp start two stroke semi Diesel engine, I am planing to put this old set up on full load and to do this I will be drawing 100 amps per phase, using 3 phase heater banks which I can build up in 15Kw stages. The cable will be in the ground so I won't be able to see what its doing except at each end! This is only a play thing but still has to be safe! I am reasonably confident about connections and earthing etc, I have to buy the cable and I dont know what size to ask a price for?? Plus i dont want to blow a big hole in the ground and have to dig the ****** up again! Sorry to seem weird but I play with theses sorts of Engines and Loading one right up is something I have been wanting to do for some 30 years now, as running engines light does not have the same effect!!!
