They say primary input power we turned off for most of the test. The
machine will be run in heat after death mode. so input power
measurements will not be a factor.
In any case, the output power is reportedly 15 kW and there is no way
an ordinary wire could conduct that much electricity, so you can rule
that out.
I second Jed's statement with these simple facts:
With a Copper resistivity/m of 0.0175 this requires a wire with a
thickness of 10.0 mm^2
or a diameter of 3.57 mm (= approx. AWG 7 ! ), which results in a wire
of 0.00175 ?.
Such wire is VDE approved for a maximum of 66.00 A and with single phase
230V AC this results in a maximum power of 15300 W!
As far as I can see from the photos of the Rossi reactor, the wires to
the heating resistors are a lot thinner than the 3.57 mm diameter.
Kind regards,
