“Ampacity” — I don’t know if that’s an actual word but you perfectly described what the bottle neck is. I like it!

It is! Here in the US, that's the word used by the National Electric Code to talk about current carrying capacity

Do "ampacity" and "amperage" mean the same thing?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Not exactly. Amperage is "amount of current", ampacity is "ability to carry current"

So ampacity is fusion of amperage and capacity?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

you got it 👍
