    Can a thermocouple be used as a power cable?

    It will ony enter high temp conditions periodically, approx 20-30 times a week for an hour max at any 1 time. The intention is to keep the functionality of the thermocouple whenever the camera equipment is not being used/connected. In terms of shielding I believe there is just 3 pairs of...

    Can a thermocouple be used as a power cable?

    Yes single conductor and shielded. I would imagine it would get very warm at 100V stage but I don't think temperature transients will be a big issue because I think k type thermocouple is rated to around 1200 degrees Celsius. I am more concerned about the risk of arcing or the damage that could...

    Can a thermocouple be used as a power cable?

    The thermocouple cable is 75m long. Which enables us to work out the loop resistance of the cable among other things. Sorry I didnt explain very well before earlier... Im not concerned about the temperature differential characteristics, just with the visability of using this cable as a means...

    Can a thermocouple be used as a power cable?

    I am trying to find out if type K thermocouple is capable of transmitting power from an external power supply to a camera and some lamps attached on the end. I have 3 pairs of thermocouples. One pair for the camera supply. One pair for the video output. One pair for the lamps. I have tried...
