Question:
If I were to use 2 strands of 24 gauge wire for each lead of an accessory hook up (2 strands to the + and 2 strands to the - terminals from the power source)would I have enough wire to safely power the accessory such a Semaphore signal or something more robust such as a barrel loader? The 24 gauge seems mighty small but I think it may be adequate. Not sure if doubling up would prevent it from heating up as I suspaect might happen for a single strand. The wire is solid copper.
If this is acceptable what gauge is this approximately equal to for a single wire?
I came across a roll of 8 wire 24 AWG cable. All 8 wires are uniquely colored to easily identify.
Thanks in advance
Sam
