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?

To answer your question, you will have no problem using smaller gauge with your 10 gauge wiring, don't worry about it.

Yes I know that i could use it  but I'm not concerned about that.

Seems to me that Power conditioners should be using 10 gauge wire internally. Dedicated outlets use 10 gauge wire so shouldn't the power conditioner outlets use them?

If you have a 10 gauge power cord connected to a power conditioner and then the individual outlets within the conditioner only use 14 or 16 gauge wire - to me that's a huge problem.

"Dedicated outlets use 10 gauge wire so shouldn't the power conditioner outlets use them?"

- This not the case in most homes systems, 10 ga. is overkill for all but the most demanding, high power amplifiers.

"to me that's a huge problem."

- Sorry if it is for you, but most would not see a problem. I suggest you don't use a power conditioner or replace the wiring inside with 10 ga.

Man I did all that typing and math and you completely ignored me. :D

Why would I use 10 gauge when it's so hard to work with, for 2' of distance?

Most people use awg 12 from the breaker panel .

my Audiophile friend is also a master electrician ,I use awg 10 copper wire ,less resistance ,I also use 4 wire ,a common ground and a dedicated isolated ground in its own housing ,and separate buzz Barr, and heavy silverplated copper breaker which was expensive from Siemens Germany . just for the audio. Any top quality line conditioner usually use awg 12  copper wire
