Well, the wire leading to Stark's heart electromagnet is that thick, but 
since it was running off a car battery initially I doubt it needs all 
that much power. The reactor's exposed on his chest so when Stark gets 
into the armor it could couple to it directly.

Plus, Stark was using components from his company's 
multi-hundred-million-dollar highly-classified missiles to build it, so 
he's not necessarily limited to "off the shelf" stuff. :)
