Reply to "Theoretical Electrical Questions: Do more feed wires means less heat?"

Drummer,

Thanks for the great picture and analysis.

I have read it three times though, and I am sorry that I don't totally understand it.  :-O

Does it mean that my system is good, bad, or neither?

My track blocks will have isolated center (hot) rails, because that is the rail into which I will be inserting the plastic pins on each end for each block.

Should I be putting the plastic pins in both ends of the outside neutral rail as well?  (My multiple feeds to each power block will include both hot and neutral.)

The system I have proposed for what I view as speed and simplicity in wiring (for me) has sure created a lot of controversy. :-)

And let me repeat for emphasis, that I'm not going to be running 16 foot lengths of 18 gauge wire as feeders.  The very longest would be around 8 feet, and most would be 6  feet or less.

Thanks,

Mannyrock
