Serious Question About Silver vs Copper Conductivity for Power

🙃

@theaudiomaniac 

"The safety violations are not invented."  Of course they are.  Electrical safety regulations don't occur naturally, they have to be invented.

"If anyone would like to know what those violations are, feel free to message me. I do not wish to contribute here."  <- Code for, "I don't know the answer."

First of all, all this "math" is making the assumption that what is being used is bare copper wire. Copper wire has a particular rating that requires a set of math to regulate using it for electrical purposes.  Once you add insulation, shielding and other materials, that rating changes.  Changing the conductor will also impact the math.  Those algorithms are *NOT* universal to all applications, materials, regions or devices.  Hence why I ignore them. 

Until folks start backing up their statements. Such as, what safety regulation(s) is being violated? Even you have failed to do so: " it looks to me that you're using undersized wire here and, yes, that's potentially hazardous." Hazardous how and in what way and who stated this is true or is this more "guessing?"

"I'm not sure why that isn't more clear to you." <-  Because no one posting is an actual Electrical Engineer and is unable to provide any source for their statements. These are all ASSUMPTIONS and GUESSES.

I will state this for the last time:

This is SOLID SILVER wire at 28awg.  *NOT* multiple, hair-thin, strands twisted together to make 28awg. Yes, that is an important distinction.  Also, *EACH* *INDIVIDUAL* strand is insulated in Teflon. First of all, silver has an extremely high melting point (over 900F). So, regardless of my electrical load on a 15 amp plug at 120v that single silver 28awg wire isn't going to melt; even if it is subjected to a constant 15 amp load at full 1800 watts. IN fact, the Teflon jacket has a heat rating of 500F (260C)  Therefore, if we all here waxing "scientific" and "math" and "electrical engineering" I could run my speakers on just that one 28awg insulated wire and not start a fire or short anything out. If I am wrong, prove it (spoiler alert, you can't.)

With that said, taking 20 of these silver cables means offloading heat and electric loads.  In final, it means you all are incorrect in your assessments, until you can actually prove it.  That means not just taking your word. That means going out and finding an algorithm that can determine correct awg needed for 100watts from a 120v US socket using silver wire encased in Teflon (and I wish you the best luck finding it.)

I think we have all said the same thing in several different ways. The OP has made up his mind. Our attempts to help him understand will never persuade.

So sorry, but one can not continue to say the wrong things in different ways and expect to be right.  So, yes.  I have made up my mind and cannot be persuaded by poor and incorrect explanations; especially when they don't answer my question.

Because, rather than answering the question, you all attacked the question.

In my 30 years experience and my studies in Psychology, when people attack a question rather than answering it, it is because they are displeased at not knowing the answer; so they get defensive. When logic puts them in a corner and they're forced to face their deficiency in that knowledge, they immediately retreat.  An example of this last segment is: 

"If anyone would like to know what those violations are, feel free to message me. I do not wish to contribute here."

"I think we have all said the same thing in several different ways. The OP has made up his mind. Our attempts to help him understand will never persuade.  "

All because no one wants to back up their statements with facts.  Likely because, such facts will either prove them wrong, or don't exist.

So...if everyone is giving up, I will concede that no one knew the answer or couldn't find the answer.

Thanks for everyone's attempts.
