People often tell me “I have 20 amp dedicated lines”. By US electrical code definitions, a 20 amp dedicated line will have 12 gauge wire in the wall. So while you may have a “dedicated line”, 12 gauge wire is absolutely insufficient for high end audio systems. We are recommending t...
According to good engineering practice, line performance losses should be kept below 0.5dB or a maximum of 0.25 dB. Factors that lead to this loss include impedance of the speaker, cable length, cable gauge and amplifier impedance. Suggested wire gauges for different distances and impedances are...
Do you know how to wire an RV breaker box? If you have any experience with this task or any wiring diagram you like to share, feel free to tell us. Calvin Duty “Hi, I’m Francis’ husband—Calvin. Our story began with our shared passion for traveling. I have had a career journey...
Making wire wrapped jewelry is the perfect hobby for those who are interested in crafting metal jewelry but aren't ready for the commitment of setting up a metal-smithing studio. Determining the correct wire gauge for these projects is somewhat up to creative license, but here are some general...
A strain gauge is an extremely thin metallic wire. If it is pulled, the gauge will become even thinner, which will make it more difficult for electricity to flow, thereby increasing the resistance. Strain Gauges Strain gauges use the principle that the resistance of a metal changes with its...
AWG is for single-strand, solid, round, electrically conductive wire. It was first introduced in 1857 as a standard to replace the various measurements used by different manufacturers. Use of larger numbers denoting smaller wires is similar to Standard Wire Gauge, which is used in Britain. Most...
How to Sharpen Your Mower Blade 1 Safety first! Disconnect any power. For gas mowers, this means removing the ignition wire from the spark plug. You may also want to drain gasoline from the tank to avoid spilling it as you tip the mower over. For electric mowers, remove the batteries....
That is, a 12-gauge wire is thinner than a 10-gauge wire. Most small appliances use cord wires of copper strands insulated with heat-resistant plastic. An appliance that requires less amperage to operate, such as a lamp, will typically have a two-wire cord of 18- or 16-gauge wire. ...
you should communicate further with the factories and learn more about how they conduct business and the quality of their products. You should be looking to evaluate whether or not you will get along with them personally and professionally in order to gauge your potential for success as colleagues...
I did find a very nice set of HT-104s that I can’t find any info on; it has the same part numbers for the die holders as the HT-95s and the same wire gauge guides and from first look the dies look very similar. The locator also looks very, very similar to the HT-95s. I...
