knockin'hoe97 Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 ok well question....what would heat be if say it was 2 cca 1/0 vs 1 ofc 1/0 cuz you can get 2 50 ft cca knukonceptz spools for a hair under the price of one 50ft spool of knukonceptz ofc if i remember correctly....and i know some people wouldnt have the space for tons and tons of runs but if space wasn't an issue would it be more cost effective to do that?

Reaper Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 very nice. but having the wire balled like that makes the temps go up. if you look at the ends of the cca, its no where near as hot as the middle. but it would still be much higher than ofc, and you would still lose power. small applications i still say cca is fine. if your going to put the max amount of current threw a wire obviously go with ofc. I guess then you refuse to do the big 3. what does that have to do with the big 3? all im saying is having it balled up like that will make a much more dramatic effect than a straight run of wire. last i checked i didn't ball up my big 3. plus i use welding wire for my 0+. get it at cost.

skittlesRgood Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 wish they would have said what amperage they were putting through each wire. obviously CCA handles less current but thats not always a terrible thing. lets say your power supply from the front of the car can supply 400 amps. thats too much for one run of OFC 1/0 so you would need two. however, you could save the money and get two runs of CCA and that would easily handle the 400 amps. but in their test, if they put 300 amps through both 1/0 wires and the OFC is rated to 300-350amps and the CCA is rated to 250 amps, well then of course the CCA wire will heat up. put 400 amps to the OFC wire and watch the same thing happen. If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

deathcards Posted June 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 exactly need some different testing with the max handling capacity of both wire sizes and types this vid might not have helped at all unless you are trying to pull too many amps through the wire itself which in this case it would be more ideal to use ofc damn vid got tore down ouch skar sk2500.1 0 gauge power and ground kunukonceptz alpine HUvxi65 components on BA gt-275new build log -> http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/150642-project-d-kon-deathcards-build-log/#entry2148821 2 x-15 sundowns singer alt, odyssey bat, and maxwell ultra caps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
