In Reply to: RE: Switchgear wire for power wire ? posted by MichaelM on June 28, 2007 at 00:07:51
Hi.
The link shows it can handle max 6A (90C) UL & 5A (National Board of Fire Underderwriters) (1mm^2=AWG#18), 300V rated. If it is a tube amp (you did not mention), use it for tube heaters/filaments wiring not over 5A loading, & for HV wiring not too much over 300V.
I would not use such cheapie wires for signal path !!!!!

Follow Ups:
It's actually for a headphone amp, and the plan is really to use it for the mains side of PSU wiring (from IEC to transformer), as I prefer the idea of using solid core wire than stranded (being less flexible, it tends to stay where you put it !).
The wire I plan on using would be somewhere between 13 and 14 AWG, but being on the RS site, can't link directly (by following the menus : Electrical, Cable, Test Equipment » Cables and Connectors» Cables / Wires & Accessories » Switchgear Cables BS6231 » Switchgear Cable BS6231 » Rigid Solid Conductor - Type BU).
Yeah why do you need such heavy wire for milliwatt signals?
Go thinner and get a better quality wire from someone like Cardas.
The plan is to use the wire on the mains side of the PSU (in Aus it's 240V).
It won't be used for signal wire, nor PSU wire, only for anything that'll be at 240V potential.
