You want to re-think that? I think you are mostly wrong!
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 was assuming North America, and you are still wrong!

It would have been more polite to tell him _why_ he was wrong:
