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?

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?

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 

Jumia   I have often wondered about that myself but don't have the answer. It would seem that most of the respondents to your post so far have failed to comprehend what you are asking. Am I correct? 

IMO this is not a "serious problem" at all. (Assuming you're using a 20 amp breaker to feed the 10 gauge wire.)

Look at it this way. The circuit using 10 gauge wire feeding the outlet is "overbuilt." The power conditioner is not "underbuilt" due to what is feeding it.

Your power conditioner should say how much power it can supply. As long as you do not exceed that it is not a problem.
