It's easily doable if you increase the voltage. 600kw is easy if you're using 10kv, only 60 amps

- sudosysgen 6y ago10kV is indeed a lot, but say 1kV 600amps or 1.5kV 400amps is much more doable.
- foobarian 6y agoLet's consider for a second though. With the size savings of HV wire you now have room for a _lot_ of nice insulation that could last a long time. Arcing would not be a problem if you don't do live disconnects/reconnects. Rain would not be a problem with extra insulation. If arcing does occur this could be detected and power interrupted for safety, and a faulty cable replaced.
