There are several methods that can be used to determine the current carrying capacity, also known as the electrical conductivity or ampacity, of copper wires and carbon nanotube composites. Some of these methods include:

DC resistance measurement: This method involves measuring the DC resistance of a wire or composite sample using a multimeter or other electrical measuring device. The resistance is then used to calculate the conductivity or ampacity using the appropriate formula.

AC impedance measurement: This method uses an AC signal to measure the electrical impedance of a wire or composite sample, which can be used to calculate the conductivity or ampacity.

Four-point probe measurement: This method involves using a four-point probe to measure the electrical resistance of a wire or composite sample, which can then be used to calculate the conductivity or ampacity.

Thermocouple method: This method uses a thermocouple to measure the temperature rise in a wire or composite sample due to an applied current, which can then be used to calculate the ampacity.

It is important to note that the ampacity of copper wires and carbon nanotube composites can be affected by several factors such as temperature, type of load, and environment so the results of these measurements can be affected by these factors.

Jafar Hussain Shah

These are the some well-known methods;

DC Resistance Measurement: This method is based on Ohm's Law, which states that the resistance of a conductor is proportional to the length and inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area. By measuring the DC resistance of the composite wire, the current carrying capacity can be calculated.

AC Impedance Measurement: This method is based on the measurement of the complex impedance of the composite wire. The real part of the impedance is related to the resistance, while the imaginary part is related to the reactance. By measuring the AC impedance of the composite wire, the current carrying capacity can be calculated.

Temperature Rise Method: This method involves measuring the temperature rise of the composite wire when a current is passed through it. The current carrying capacity is determined by the point at which the temperature rise exceeds a certain limit.

High Current Pulse Testing: This method involves passing a high current pulse through the composite wire and measuring the voltage drop across the wire. The current carrying capacity is determined by the point at which the voltage drop exceeds a certain limit.

Electromagnetic simulation: Some of the simulations software like ANSYS, COMSOL, etc. can be used to simulate the electromagnetic behavior of the composite wire under different current loads. The current carrying capacity of the wire can be obtained from the simulations.

Sompalli Kishore Babu

By the Electrical simulation method, the capacity of a wire can be simulated using electrical simulation software. This allows the modelling of the wire's resistance, heating and other parameters under different loads, currents and temperature conditions.
