[PSUBS-MAILIST] penetrator

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

Brian,I should clarify, I have had as little as 1\16 gap but that was for low amp  wires.  I assume with 1\4 inch rods you will have 75  amps or so.  In that case I would go with 1\4 inch gap.  I would worry that if they are closer the heat from two rods in close proximity may effect the epoxy.   1\8 is probably good also just depends on how many amps your running through.Hank

 BrianI am using two each 1/8" copper rods on my Minn-Kotta's which I am guessing will equal the same as the 10 gauge wire they use and not knowing how resistant epoxy is to conducting current, I am going with an 1/8" separation and also wrapping both rods with electrical tape to be safe.

Brian, I try to have as much separation as possible just to ensure they don't make contact, but 1\16 inch has worked fine for me.  If you have 4 rods it will be crowded for putting wire connectors on.  You can always bend the rods to make clearance also.  Hank

 Hank,   Starting to work on my electrical penetrators for my motor pods .   I need to run 4  - 1/4"  copper threaded rods thru a penetrator  what kind of separation between them is adequate ?  or should I break it up into two penetrators? Brian

Hi All,I am looking for a penetrator supplier,  I am hoping to find male ends for some penetrators I have.
