Re: [TCML] Wire question.



What I was planning to do is use it to get power to the spark gap, MMC, and coil, perhaps even as the coil.

Solid 10 gauge is usually good for around 50 amps, whereas stranded 10 gauge is usually good for between 15 and 30 amps, depending on the number of cores (more cores = less current capacity). Stranded will bend more easily and will be less susceptible to breaking. Solid wire will break more easily if bent multiple times in the same spot.
