Wire Cable Where can I get stainless steel wire/cable that is capable of conducting 40A?
I need stainless steel cable/wire/rope that can conduct 40A. What width would the cable need to be? I need to minimise the width, so I can cut it easily.
resistivity of Iron/steel is 1/6 th that of copper, so the area should be 6 times. That means the diameter should be √6 or 2.4 times the diameter (which you call width).
#12 copper wire will handle 40 amps for short distances, but for anything more than a foot, you need #8, which is 0.13 inches in diameter. That means the steel cable should be 2.4 times that or 0.3 inches.
however, if this is a low voltage application, you will be limited by allowed voltage drop. Let me know that and the length and I can give you a better answer.

Stainless Steel Money Clip with Cable Wire Accents
One of the most useful and durable pieces of equipment for use in storage and organization is the cable tie. The tooth-and-lock system employed by ties makes for a virtually unbreakable (through pressure from the inside of the loop) system for bundling up many different items. Let’s take a look at the many different applications for cable ties.
Routing and bundling wires. Cables ties were originally used to organize workspaces where large amounts of wire were involved. Straggling wire can be both a safety hazard and a nightmare as far as organization, and using a cable tie to bundle up and/or rout the wires will help to clear a work floor up.
Storage. Companies that need to haul cables and wires, or keep large amounts on hand, need an efficient, simple, and reliable way to keep the materials contained. Cable ties can be used to ensure that wires and cables stay tight together in storage and transport.
Handcuffs. Contractors who found themselves in position to make a citizen’s arrest always had a useful restraining advice at hand if they carried cable ties, and in some areas law enforcement officials have caught on. The nature of cable ties allows them to be placed securely around the wrists of a prisoner and secured to an object without the fuss that can be involved with regular handcuffs; they can also be much harder to break off.
Cable ties are used in hundreds of different situations within these broad areas. The main reason for the widespread appeal of cable ties lie in the features that they have.
For one thing, cable ties are generally made of smooth plastic. No matter how tightly the tie is drawn, they will not damage the material being bundled through abrasion. The same cannot be said for bundling methods using string or twine.
The cable tie securing system is also much more user friendly than using twine or other methods. Someone using a cable tie does not have to be an expert (or even possess a knowledge of) knots in order to get the system to work well. All one has to do is draw one end through the other in order to secure the cable tie.
These reasons are what make the cable tie ideal in many different situations. They are used in virtually all areas where large amounts of cable or wire need to be bundled for storage, safety, or convenience purposes.

My company has been reducing debt. The new CFO and I agree on that point since he came in and changed the company to reduce the debt and not let it get above a certain percent even though we are finishing up building power plants. After that is done (about now) He will work hard to reduce our debt load significantly. That is what smart company managers are doing. My CFO does not want to float any more bonds to get cash. He want to retire bond debt as he can. SMART versus DUMB corp managers.
bikehikebabe,About the only thing we can do in a case like that is to change ourselves, or not. That’s why years ago I did so much journal writing and behavior modification (my hobby for years). It takes a big commitment of time, and it sounds as if your plate is already full with things you prefer to do. One size doesn’t fit all.
