Can I use Solid wire for rewiring sailboat if not WHY?
"Stanley Barthfarkle" wrote in message om...
Never use solid core wire on anything that moves, vibrates, or flexes- Cars, boats, elevators, trains, etc. Solid wire is for buildings, signs, etc, that never move. Movement will eventually break the wire (or just cause it to weaken, creating a point of resistance that will be a fire hazard) Not to mention that stranded wire allows for more, in laymens terms, flow of energy, less resistance in stranded wire... has to do with surface area, but that is another story. Anyway, I almost agree with the guy that said "if you have to ask,...", except I will say, if you have to ask, you have a lot more reading to do Hopefully, your origional question has been answered here.
