| May 25, 2023 at 6:29 | comment | added | Spehro 'speff' Pefhany | Is there any information as to the maximum distance for AWG 8? | |
| May 25, 2023 at 6:27 | comment | added | Transistor | Use one of the online calculators such as southwire.com/calculator-vdrop. Work out the voltage drop on each section and add them together. | |
