Re: Anyone done a really long braided sleeving project?Under low load thin power cables over long runs don't suffer problematic voltage drops, but may not be compliant with electrical regs depending on the size of breaker upstream.To illustrate the problem, imagine a 1200' 14/3 cord has been run and then a fault occurs where the active lead touches the chassis creating a hazard. How long will it take the 120v/20A breaker to trip and eliminate the electrocution hazard? This breaker will never trip!Now I understand that the proposed run isn't 1200' but some of that distance is cable inside the walls. If an overlength cord isn't long enough to stop a breaker tripping, it still slows the breaker tripping.
