Efficiency of braided vs solid wire
I have an outdoor receptacle (B)that is connected to a GFI outdoor
receptacle (A) via a shielded extension cord-14?.B got wet, corrosion set in and I plan to replace it.I have been told that an outdoor solid wire from A to B would be better and that if I used a braided wire unless ALL the strands are securely attached it might conduct but not be able to handle a heavy load such as an 120 V electric water heater. True? Is there a way I can measure whether the braided wire is fully conductive -- Thanks in advance, Hank |
