Power conditioner wire gauge? Serious issue
So I just figured out that all the 10 gauge wiring I have may be a problem if the power conditioner I use only uses 14 or 16 gauge wires to connect all those outlets you plug into in the back of those devices.
The specs are not part of the description when you buy Power conditioners. Everybody recommends a dedicated 10 gauge wire from the panel but fails to consider what power conditioners use.
Is this a serious problem?

jumia, Too me, because I am deep minded that the power feeding our systems is so very important, I would want heavier gauge wire inside the power conditioner. 16 gauge is pretty weak. Not sure what is customary but a power conditioner that handles power amps or large drawing current should have at least 12 gauge up front handling the incoming power. Perhaps branching out from there to lesser power draw components like Dac's etc. smaller gauge would be ok. Now, I don't have any hi-tech education supporting this just my years of experience. ozzy |
@carlsbad Thank you for your opinion. I will continue to post mine. No doubt you will explain why it is necessary to spend money on larger power cords than are required to carry the specified current. |
