Interesting. So at say, at 10 amps its 188 watts [not a problem] but at 100 amps it will be creating 18.8KW? Spread out over that length I wonder how hot any one point of contact will get?

Likely quite safe for a lot of testing use before it chars too much. How many of you push 100 amps for long?

Great use of stuff on hand especially in spring during fencing season.

I don't see the gage mentioned?

Could be an alternate way to keep the deer out... First 300V on the nose. Then 300C on the nose if they don't wise up...
