Good definition, Carter. How many times have we posted this formula over and over again? It should really be a sticky since it's so important.

Hi, I have a doubt...
in this math: (3.5x3.5=12.25-.25x.5= 6)
why is this? .25x.5????
.5 is the amps per sq inch?
and what is .25 for?
From the formula, I would say it is a buffer to ensure you run just under .5 Amps per square inch during most all conditions. Shoot for 6 and occasionally end up with ~6.2 and it's still acceptable. At least according to the example above.
Of course if you really wanted to get crazy with numbers then plug in The Golden Mean 1.618:
( (3.5x3.5) / 1.618 ) / 1.618 = 4.68 Amps
which is 0.38 A/in sq.
Which is right smack in between 0.25 and 0.5 A/in. sq.
