Regardless if remote sensing is used or not, the power dissipated in the
harness will be P=R*I^2, so, proportional to the current squared. With
remote sensing I will be a constant as stated, even if the harness
resistance goes up, so the power dissipated within the harness then is
increased. Without remote sensing I will more than likely go down, but R
will still go up in case of an overheated cable or bad connector, provided
the bad connector is on the load end and not the source end. But since we
are only talking about defective, or inadequate cables, power dissipated in
the cable will still be P=R*I^2. Of course all the other equations given by
Tony are also correct. Low resistance cables will dissipate the most power
in the load and minimum in the cable. Regards - Mike
