Does a higher gauge electrical wire impact voltage level?
Throughout the day the voltage level varies from the power company. Not by much but it's from 110 to 123.
Does overall voltage level get impacted when higher gauge electrical wires are used from the breaker to the outlet?
@erik_squires : your last sentence is incorrect!
So is the answer no?
The answer is "no." Wattage can be affected by gauge size but not voltage.
Interested in obtaining DATA/FACTS?

Not sure how.
V(dropped) = I(current) * R.
Under load, thicker gauge wiring has lower R for the same length and current.
