So I'm designing a system that requires an extremely high amount of current for an extremely short pulse lengths. These pulses would be consecutively spaced at relatively large intervals from one another. I'm just wondering if there is some sort of instantaneous power limit to wires, even if the overall energy drawn is very small compared to that of a tolerated dc system.
Let's say the pulsed current in these wires is 50 times larger than the maximum rated dc current of the wires, but the pulse length is 20,000 times shorter than that of the interval length (50 microsecond pulse lengths for 1 second intervals).
