If you like tests, run a listening test…generally the better the power cord for your system the better the results that you can hear. There is likely the same argument about 10/8 ga pc and any internal wiring in electronics. Shorter distances lower current values, different current draw at the circuit level vs the component level.
There must be standard answers as started above to these questions by now.
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?

For the last time, the wire gauge needs ONLY to be thick enough to carry the current being drawn by the component to which it is connected. There is NO need to match gauges all through a system. IS THAT CLEAR! Re-read what @erik_squires said near the top of this thread. He knows what he is talking about. The most annoying thing about this forum is the volume of nonsense spouted. |
@carlsbad you are ery right in your assessment of power conditioners |
