[QUOTE="McIntosh, post: 5807554, member: 605496"] If a wire is fused properly what difference does it's length make? Logic 101. The code ensures (if referenced) that a wire's ampacity won't be exceeded no matter the period of time. I've seen my share of scary (and downright stupid) shit people have done in their homes and cars. Some have gone up in smoke, some just charred and some still surviving somehow. If you're ignorant enough to think a short wire can carry more current than a long wire of the same size, you'll find out the hard way. I suppose you think a longer fuse can carry less current than a short fuse? You NEED to get a clue. [/QUOTE]
