Where did the 7.5 amps per wire come from??
Keep in mind that I deal with 220 single phase, 208 and 480 three
phase on a daily basis. I am sticking with my 20 gauge wire for the
25 foot run. Greg


Hmm, OK, I see what you're at. I assumed the OP was a North American
residential, meaning opposing phases of the 110 make up the 220 and thus
each hot carries half of the total current rating.


I thnk all of us assumed the same thing about the OP's location. You're just
wrong about each leg carrying half the current, that's all.
