A new cooling technology has been proposed for EV high-current charging cables. The system relies on the use of subcooled flow boiling to remove the heat from the cable. Experiments were performed to ...

As we saw in Part 1, the correct sizing of conductors is more complicated than it appears. One of the reasons is the way temperature affects the resistance of a conductor. Higher temperatures mean ...

There are two main considerations for sizing DC wiring from the output of a power supply to its load. They are ampacity (fancy term for the number of Amps) and voltage-drop (remember ohms law: V = I x ...
