Ground Wire Smaller than power wire


Recommended Posts

Posted

Just FYI, wire size is based on more than just wattage.

It is based on heat rise and the amount of voltage drop that is acceptable in your application.

Different wire of the same ga can have different resistance per foot which changes the voltage drop with a given current and the amount of heat generated.

The length of the wire changes voltage drop.

The type of insulation determines how much heat rise is acceptable.

And the list goes on. . .

Oh ok but In my case I would be ok?

Yes.
