I ordered some high temp wire, but now I'm thinking I should not have believed what McMaster says.
I ordered this
It says this wire 18 gauge can handle 31 amps?
Can that be right?
It seemed small to me, but I went with it. I plan to wire it in parallel and as it sits my biggest element is 3000 watts so each wire would see a max of 6.25 amps.
Ya think it will be ok?
When I run some wire gauge calculators it comes up with #14 being the smallest.
