I am running a new 230v line from my breaker box to the ham shack. I have a 20 amp breaker and 35 feet of 12/2 romex going to a new 20a single outlet. Question: I'm worried that the 12/2 romex might

Ken, You are fine with the 12/2. It is rated at 20 Amps. IS it better to use 10 Gauge for an amplifier? Most electricians when wiring their own houses upgrade the wiring a size to eliminate voltage d

If it's 12/2 with ground (and most Romex type cable is) a seperate ground is not required. The one in the jacket will suffice. Mike, W1NR _______________________________________________ Amps mailing

What is this answer of pulling a dedicated green wire with a romex line... What kind of garbage is this? What we just pull a separate wire along with a romex? Maybe lay it across the floor? Romex is

I am not an electrician, but I wouldn't be concerned about the voltage drop on a 35-foot run of 12-gauge wire. 12 gauge certainly is OK for 240 VAC electric heaters, etc. I'm sure it's good for a lot

Amplifiers and other devices with capacitor input power supplies have terrible power factors. The stiffer the power supply (the better the PS construction) the worse the power factor becomes. This m

By the way, I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with the use of number 12 wire to power a TL-922. It's just very important for people to understand the following with capacitor input supplies: 1.) The b

Good information, Tom. This is one reason why I replaced the excessively long #18 AWG line cords on my Alpha amps and replaced them with #10 AWG. In addition to the line cords, I am using #10 betwee

However, one can purchase 12/2 "Romex" type cable with or without ground. I believe the second number indicates the number of current-carrying conductors. So, 12/2 may have two wires, or 12/2 may ha
