ipv3Li coil detection.

[aalmosawi]

is it possible the ipv3Li can detect a nickel coil as opposed to a nichrome coil?

today i went out to a local shop and bought 0.50 (24awg) wire which after repeating myself 600 times he kept insisting its what i want.
i kept saying i want "NICHROME 80" and he kept saying "yes, yes nickel chrome".

SO. i have an iPV3Li.
if i make a coil and put it in TC mode ... can the device detect if its nickel or nichrome80 and goto power mode?

I don't have the ipv3li, but as tc on nichrome is impossible the device should kick you into power mode if the coil is nichrome.

so ya. IF the guy was wrong and i had a niXXX wire in there and had set the device to TC and the ipv3 detects its NOT niXXX it'll go to power mode. thats what i was asking.

Yes, that's what it should do (though someone with an P4U device should confirm that). A nichrome coil should also have a very much higher resistance than a nickel coil. Compare your build to the calculations on steam-engine.org and you should be able to determine whether it's a nickel coil or not.
