couple related issues--I don't think it's just the gauge of the wire that is a factor. As I remember it, for copper to be a really good conductor it must be very pure--I'm thinking 99.9% plus. Beyond

I use the handy-dandy wire-sizing chart in the FAA AC43.13-1B (Chapter 11) publication as my guide. If it's good enough for airplanes it is good enough for my shack. I do use Chart 11-2 for *continuo

But we measure AC in RMS which has the same heating value as that same current DC. Yes, Kenwood and Yaesu use a pair of 14s for hot and another pair for ground. Each wire has a connector pin at the r

UL specs for copper wiring wire demand high conductivity. Its probably stronger from being hard drawn, or work hardened by stretching. But that stiffness of the solid wire is death on Molex pins. The
When I want to decide on wire size where voltage drop matters, I simply look up the resistivity of the wire I am specifically using, calculate the voltage drop for the length I contemplate using and
