What is everyone using for dedicated AC lines???

Glen, dosen't solid have more surface area than stranded wire?

Highend64: I think that you are correct. Due to the air gaps located between the stranded conductors, solid cabling of the same gauge offers slightly more material to pass power through than an equivalent stranded version. I could be wrong here, but that's what i remember. Sean

Highend: yes.

Look who's talking Albert and Sean. I haven't seen you guys in the forums in months. By the way great pics of CES this year Albert :^)

I've been real busy fixing up my house, but I still browse Audiogon on a daily bases.

Got to go, I'm doing my lay out for a tile floor in the entry way

One thing I didn't mention; the maximum ampere rating of a conductor (table 310-16 of the NEC) is just the starting point in calculating the correct size. There are other factors that have to be addressed which will lower the ampere rating of a conductor (i.e. ambient temperature, number of wires in a conduit, length of run)

Glen: You haven't been looking too well then. While Albert shows up from time to time in threads, i know that he's doing more reading than posting. As for me, i never shut up. Then again, you probably already knew that : ) Sean
