    “Ampacity” — I don’t know if that’s an actual word but you perfectly described what the bottle neck is. I like it!

        Do “ampacity” and “amperage” mean the same thing?

          Not exactly. Amperage is “amount of current”, ampacity is “ability to carry current”

            So ampacity is fusion of amperage and capacity?
