- snops 2y agoThe cable is cooled by a mix of water and glycol, which runs through the cable and also cools the connector pins. Tesla use this in their supercharger cables, as without it the cable would be too heavy. https://www.cpcworldwide.com/Liquid-Cooling/Electric-Vehicle-Charging/EV-Charging-Cables https://www.cpcworldwide.com/Liquid-Cooling/Electric-Vehicle...
- MrBuddyCasino 2y agoAt 1000V, 1000A require 0.13cm wire diameter[0] over 2 Meter with 5V voltage drop, just 15 AWG. [0] https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/amp-to-wire-size https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/amp-to-wire-size
- pxndx 2y agoYeah that turns the cable into a 5kW space heater.
- jankeymeulen 2y agoA 5V drop at 1000 Amps also means 5000 Watts of heat generated, you probably want something with less of a drop.
