    Really?

    Assuming you're an engineer in training, I would like to believe that engineers are very detailed in their communications.

    Please provide much more detail to your question, as what you have provided is not nearly enough.

    Need:

    Conductor material
    What type of " current load".
    Supply voltage

    Just for starters.
