Hi,

I have a requirement on a design to make a conductor trackwork to take
50Amps AC/DC continuous at 50Hz.

Two questions:

1. What would the cross sectional area have to be to allow this, (and
work!) based on 1 oz plated trackwork, and 2 oz plated trackwork?

2. What heat rise would I expect to see on the PCB? Is there a table, or
correlation between heat rise and amperage that I can get a hold of?

Best regards,

Colin William
