Wow! A random datasheet[0] says: "Max.allowable continuous operating temp: 175 C", and shows a current capacity plot from 55C to 175C. That's 350 F, definitely

Wow! A random datasheet[0] says: "Max.allowable continuous operating temp: 175 C", and shows a current capacity plot from 55C to 175C. That's 350 F, definitely enough to grill burger. Also, I was curious about power loss - for that one cable I found, it's 0.25816 Ω/km @ 660 amp, which comes out to 181 kilowatt of loss (150 average US homes) per mile of the line (and probably double that for second wire). That's a lot of loss! [0] https://www.midalcable.com/storage/products/accc/accc-data-sheetsmetric-size.pdf https://www.midalcable.com/storage/products/accc/accc-data-s...
