Re: [TCML] Consensus on HV cable

What is output voltage of pole pig?
What is size of tank capacitor?

Ichg ~ w * C * E  (w= 2*pi*f; 377);  C farads, E volts, Ichg amps
Ichg is approximate steady state VAR current

 Would size wire to support minimum 2X that value
 (see NEC table 310-16 for typical conductor
  ampacities).

Typical #16 is good for 7.5A continuous which at
12kV is nearly 90kVA delivery to load; insulation
to support applied voltage.
