[QUOTE="Marc Hayes, post: 11901, member: 118"] Im working to simplify my lighting rig in terms of power distribution and want to move to adding Socapex to the rig. Question is, can I get away with 16awg/18cond or is it preferred to stick with 12awg/14cond? Longest run I'd ever be running would be 175'. I run mainly 500w Pars that would be two-fered, so 1000w per channel. For the non-dimming channel usage, we run mainly LED moving heads and Mac750's. According to ampacity charts, I'm right at that 10amp cut off for 16awg wire. Then factor in the 175' run and I'm concerned we're on the brink of the 16/18. Am I right?? I wont be using this Soca for audio at all. Audio has its own trunk of Soca, so I dont need to worry about maintaining 18 conductors. Thoughts? Thanks!! [/QUOTE]
