Can anybody out there explain to me why you would use 10 gauge wire to run a 20 amp circuit? I was told by my electricians through the years that the national electrical code basically builds in a safety factor of 25% through all of their rules. So going with 10 gauge wire for a 20 amp circuit is even more overkill and basically a waste.
Dedicated power
I'm looking to run a dedicated 30a and dedicated 20a line to my system directly from the fuse box.
I currently have some florescent lights and some other junk on the line so I'm hoping it will be an improvement. Things sounds like they are straining somewhat when you crank things up. The amp will go on the 30a line and the digital stuff on the 20a.
Anyone done this and saw improvements?
