at 345 volts dc, how much current can a standard size paper clip have running through it?
it would be having the paper clip in series with 8 awg wire and a short circuit |

Enough to vaporize it almost instantly.
Edit: With your additional information, not quite instantly. Poof is a good word. |

Directly across the voltage, as a load for it, and the supply can provide any amount that the load requires, I agree, poof, If this paper clip, however, is in series with a load, such as taking the place of a fuse, then it should handle 10 to 15 amps. The difference is between the clip being a load, and would be seen as a short to the voltage supply, versus an in line section of wiring that can still fail if the current draw gets to high.

I don't believe anyone can really tell you this because there isn't a standard size paper clip.
If it was me. I would just take the size and compare it to the max of a copper wire of the same size. |
