Thanks Richard.
Do you know if there is a formula to calculare the max power that a
wire can supports?

Hi Andrea,

No. Not off-hand. I use "wire tables" to reference what is called
"fuse current." This is the current that will burn a wire open. For

Are those tables based on the DC resistance or low frequency AC resistance
of the wire?

If so, are they relevant to rating the wire for current handling capacity
at RF where for example skin effect increases the dissipation for a given
current?
