under significant load there should be a voltage drop ( which I stated in
correctly ) and as I learned it is the amps that do the work so which do you
think is needed the most for Ron's VAC? </FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>The formula for voltage drop is: Voltage Drop = I times R
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I = current in Amps</DIV>
<DIV>R = Resistance of the conductor in Ohms</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>So for any given length of wire, the resistance will increase as the size
of the conductor deceases and the voltage will drop for any given level of
draw (amps). </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>In other words in your case, lets say you put a load on the circuit of a
given length that draws x amount of amps, you will see a voltage drop as the
conductor size reduces (resistance increases). </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>As the formula is stated, if you have no "current" draw, you will have no
voltage drop, but why would you have a circuit if you didn't put a load on it?
In other words the voltage will drop.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>This will calculate it for you.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial>Ron .. I think you are referring to
current or amperage.. Voltage won't show a drop.. 14 gauge is a no no..
except for lighting basically.. Low current drain. </FONT></DIV>
