y, sounds like you should sub-panel. It might even be cheaper that way:
- Cost of 480 ft of AWG 8: 480 × $1.00 = $480
- Cost of 160 ft of AWG 6: 160 × $1.50 = $240
Dedicated 10 gauge NM-B lines twisted or straight
I’m not sure if it matters, but I’m going to run three separate, but parallel 80 foot, 10 gauge lines to the receptacles in my listening room. I plan on spacing the wires about 12-24 inches apart, but I was curious if anyone has an informed opinion or insight as to whether it would make a difference to have each line twisted some, or flat, as I think most electrical wires are installed flat, to make them easier to pull. Twisted wires supposedly would reduce magnetic fields, but I don’t know if it would then cause other problems, such as increase capacitance.
