Engineers aren't boring people, we just get excited over boring things.

How much current will melt a wire

After hearing Wade make fun of Dave's use of servo wire for his B-24
motor wiring I figured I'd mention an online calculator that I did a few
years ago:

http://www.cirris.com/testing/resistance/fuse.html

This calculator lets you estimate the amount of current needed to
quickly melt (and slowly melt) copper wiring. Servo wire is probably 28
gauge, 7 strand wire. So with zero strands broken I'd expect it to hold
up to 7 amps with no trouble. By 14 amps I would expect it to be
melting. Get good airflow over it and you'll really improve its chances
of surviving.

There is some discussion on melting wires at:

http://www.cirris.com/testing/resistance/broken_strands-2.html

Somewhere I did a wire weight calculator that would be useful but I
can't find it. I'll keep looking.

I believe the Servo wire I used on the B24 was 22Ga. On the outboard motors I doubled up because of the longer distance.

Take care--Dave

22 ga should work great. You'll melt your speed controllers before
you'll melt the wire.

Jon,
Servo wire is nice to work with on small motors as the three strands are hooked together and this makes for a clean, easy install. I've also used magnet wire on several planes where I had to run through a hollow carbon tube main spare in the wing.
