I use to have #10 wiring to our dryer. That wire warmed up when the thing was running. Yea, #10 is ok for a 30 amp circuit. I changed to #8 then changed the stove to #6. I agree I don't like temperature rise with wire going through walls. I compare it to breathing through a straw. -----Original Message----- From: jsb@digistar.com [mailto:jsb@digistar.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 19, 2005 9:50 AM To: Bill Coleman Cc: amps@contesting.com; Tony King - W4ZT Subject: Re: [Amps] AC wiring On Tue, 18 Oct 2005, Bill Coleman wrote: > Seems to me that 12.3 A and 13.4 A are both less than 15 A.

I've got a 1500W space heater but I run it on the lower power setting (900W) because i'm afraid the 1500W setting would burn the house down as it is fed with #14 on a 15A circuit. Seems like even 12 amps on a #14 circuit is too much? I get a little puckery thinking about running 12A for hours on #14. 73 Jason N1SU _______________________________________________ Amps mailing list Amps@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/amps _______________________________________________ Amps mailing list Amps@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/amps |
