[QUOTE="Innovative:Cory, post: 6152479, member: 589885"] Right...now take a step back and look at something.... amperage is still amperage... but having a increased supply voltage, you are able to do the same amount of power output with less amperage draw... in 12v the wires have to be huge because of the lack of supply voltage...and yes Kirchoff's law comes into place here... more so than it would in a home... I do apologize for my overall lack of codes for home electrical...its been too long, and I didn't spend much time actually in that field... but learned enough to blow my-self up [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif[/IMG] Just stating that in 12v for a 300amp draw you would need a 1/0 wire...(also depends on the distance of the run).... That would have a potential output of 12.6(300)=3780 @ 100% efficeincy 300 amps on 110.....110(300)=33,000 @ 100% efficeincy....thats a lot of juice... once again...for a 110v aplication I dont know what size wire would have to be used... But for 12v you might as well just use a solid pice of metal to pass that much power...or 10 runs of 1/0 wire.... I guess what I am saying... to do the same amount of output (power) the wire size will be different from 12v-110v because of the changes in amperage with the increase or decrease in voltages... 200 Watts in a 12v system will need a larger wire than 200 watts in 110v..because the change in amperage, thus a smaller or larger wire is needed depending upon supply voltage....
