Re: How much current/power though a specific cable??
the heat in the wire = I^2 * R

Re: How much current/power though a specific cable??
I was suggesting that the link in your post is not that relevant to the posters original question, that's all.

Re: How much current/power though a specific cable??
in the question was asked for "current/power"
The maximum current for a certain cable is:
0.5mm² 3A
0.75mm² 6A
1mm² 10A
1.25mm² 13A
1.5mm² 16A
So the maximum power a 1mm² wire can carry at 12V is 120W.
When using a power supply bigger than lets say 10 A (12V)
every wire has to be 1mm² or better else you damage youre wiring
in case of a short circuit, for this reason it's better to use fuses.
flatcables and flatcableconnectors are usually rated for 1A.When once you have tasted flight,
