I havnt really taken a bunch of recent measurements but seems I put a current meter on my AC/DC buzzer and the settings run way hotter than the dial on the machine, the more I turn it up the greater. I need to go back and write down the math but I knew this. After replacing old equipment, poco ******, service upgrades with big old fat wire from the ****** the stuff runs hot.
85 is closer to 90 and 105 is 115.
All this stuff was figured out when the voltage was a lot lower. They sized the wire and the duty cycle when 220 was still common, even drop in circuits was common but now the 10 wire pulls more than a couple less amps less. 43 was common with some tests, now below 40 and its hot.
The wire has really got better, at least the coatings. They installed them 10/50 for welders for decades from original 60A fuse boxes.
With smaller electrodes and 6011 the current on the AC/DC can be closer to 35 than it is to 50.
