Can someone recommend some products for insulating AWG 10 bare wire and connectors? Maybe some kind of insulating cover?
For 50amp current on a load of about 10 milliohms.How much are you insulating against?
That's here nor there, depending on the resistance of the device there is a voltage drop across the device and that is the working voltage you need insulation for. With a 50 Amp load you should be able to use light welding cable which is insulated and offers flexibility. A 50 Amp load is not that much and something like AWG 6 or AWG 4 would be more than adequate AWG 6 should be about a 0.182" or 4.62mm diameter and AWG 4 slightly larger so not very thick. You buy your insulation based on Wire OD and insulation ID.I am running the device from a 50amp DC current source, not a voltage source.
Are you saying there is no voltage in the current source?I am running the device from a 50amp DC current source, not a voltage source.
Yebbut...try prying one out of him.There could be different reasons.
Tell me more. I assume this "feed through" from lesker is to pass power into a vacuum chamber (tool) for a deposition process. Is that correct?I am using this part from lesker to connect to a power supply. The wire is AWG 10 and bare, we want to put some insulation for safety.

OK, through the bulkhead. While I see AWG 12 as a poor choice for a 50 Amp load it's your call. I gave a few links to insulation in an earlier post that should work out for you.I am using this part from lesker to connect to a power supply. The wire is AWG 10 and bare, we want to put some insulation for safety.
