Customer wants to have flexibility for rectifier. Output is max 5000Amps DC. Present system uses solid copper bars on output to plating tank. Customer will spend an entire weekend drilling and bolting copper bars together. Wants to cable between the output bars and the bars to the tank, approx 4'. I'm wondering what cable/conductor would be the most effective. If I used 500mcm (CU) I would need at least 12 lengths in parallel (times 2; positive and negative terminals). I don't think building wire is the way to go (gut feeling).
Any recommendations, including websites to research?
Thanks!
