<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">You could relate the cross sectional
area of the copper bar to circular mils using,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">1 circular mil = 0.166 sq-in</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Then look up the current carrying capacity
for wires of various sizes in circular mils. A copper bar with the
same size in circular mils will carry the same current as a wire of that
size in circular mils; actually more current as the copper is not insulated
and is not round.</font>

<br><tt><font size=2>Hi Wrenches,<br>
<br>
In building lithium battery systems, I have many components that need to
<br>
be connected in series from the battery. Sometimes the space is very <br>
limited making it difficult to bend 2/0 cables. I would like to use <br>
copper flat bar and make parts to replace the cables. Does anyone know
<br>
how much current I can run through copper bar based on its size? For <br>
example, 1" or 3/4" wide by .0625" up to .125"
thick. The pieces will <br>
only be a few inches long and bolted to solenoids, shunt and terminal posts.<br>
<br>

Thank you,<br>
