[Elecraft] KPA-1500 Power Supply Cable Size

[Clay Autery]

Sure....  like I've said many times, I'm an ocd over-engineer.... and already keep the connectors, housings, and tools on-hand.
Glad you found a solution to meet your needs!!!  Enjoy!

    Clay,

    

    For a one time deal, the price is competitive compared to buying the
    tools, cable and PP's to do it yourself.

    

    Elecraft is using parallel conductors for the HV line between the
    power supply and amp, so it fits the bill nicely.

      Only problem, besides price, for the Powerwerx custom cables
        is that they don't have twisted pair....  only parallel
        conductors.

      Looks like I can order a custom cable from powerwerx.com with 75
      amp 

      power poles and 6g wire (assuming that's the correct size).

      The crimp tool is not too expensive so it may be worth buying the
      tool 

      and rolling my own.  I've used 15,30 and 45 amp PP's for years,
      just 

      never had a need for 75 amp PP's so I never purchased the
      equipment.
