Chris,
I had a typo in the comments in my spreadsheet, but the equations I used and the
calculated
ampacities were correct. The correct equations are:
> * For external traces I = 1500*thickness^0.72*width^0.75*deltaT^0.45,
> * For internal traces I = 750*thickness^0.72*width^0.75*deltaT^0.45,
                             ~~~
> where:
> * I is the permissible current in Amps.
> * thickness in inches.
> * width in inches.
> * deltaT is permissible temperature rise in degrees C
