@HiramO posted:Multiple 18 gauge feeds would in fact reduce the current in each feed compared to one 18 gauge feed, thus reducing the heat produced. Actually, a silly theoretical exercise, why would you do that?

Jan,
You wouldn't in reality, that's why it's theoretical. Scientists and Engineers call them thought experiments.
Hence I respectfully disagree.
There is no such thing as a silly theoretical exercise -- unless of course you want to convince newbies, and a few old hands who are challenged by a vexing problem at times, into visiting another forum to fulfil their curiosity.
We all learn from such a question.
@Mannyrock, thanks for posting it. Please bring more at your convenience.
