Thanks Bob,
if the silver wire is 14 gauge (14 gauge = 0.064")
14 gauge = about 1/8 of an inch

the equalization would be

3.1416 x  (0.064)  x 7 (inches of wetted area)
measured on only one of the two silver wires.
equals  = 1.4070 ma

if a bend the negative silver wire so there is 14 inches of wet area
(negative = cathode the one that gives up the silver ??!!??)

3.1416  x  0.064  x 14  = 1.7496  ma


then all I need is to find a LM 117 / LM 317 that can limit a 54 VDC to 1.75
ma and place that inline on the negative  side wire.


correct??

thanks for the  help, much appreciated

Ed,

Most venders set their current limit to 1 ma per sqin.
Area= 3.1416 x wired diameter in inches x wet length.
