2 Bar Electric Fire gets cranked up "until it pops" It's rated at 1600 watts, guess how many watts it takes before it pops?

Jon Edwards it was at 500 volts though, you have to remember that for every kilovolt it'll ark a centimeter if I'm not mistaken, and there was arking between the coils, so as much as some of it was melted, I'm inclined to believe that was from the arking and not the heat of the coil

I found this regarding alumina ceramics (the type used in modern soldering irons up to, well, heaters)... "HTCC ceramic heating element is made up of high melting point metal heating material such as tungsten, molybdenum or molybdenum - manganese and 92-96% alumina ceramic substrates. The metal heating resistance slurry is printed onto the tape casting ceramic green body according to the design requirement, several layers of ceramic green body are then laminated together and is fired at 1500 ~ 1600 ℃ high temperature, with the aid of 4-8% sintering additive, to form the alumina ceramic heating element." I assume the bubbly mess was the substrate that the slurry is poured on. Maybe (just maybe) that the temps from the over heating made the ceramic even more brittle, and the energy from an initial arc allowed it to fracture and compromise the substrate - allowing it to bleed and melt. Still, HTTC is fired at 1500'C ~ 1600'C. **I know this isn't the same assembly**, but the material is now cheap as shit and wouldn't take long to adapt to a nichrome style wire wound assembly.
