New place, voltage in HT room is too low!!

The 10 amp drop is based on DC current and not AC current.... I think...

I can find out for sure... I will check, I got a EE (with a masters) for a Father.

When you have a heater, a totally resistive load, the difference between AC and DC drop is nil. But, we'll wait for his answers and reference page numbers

a totally resistive load... well dont you think that would change the current levels?

hehe...

I didnt ask him, but a 10 amp drop on a few feet of wire with AC current could only happen with a release of allot of energy... Generally in the form of heat or light

Im not so sure as to the reason why DC current looses its load so quickly. I just didnt study my man Tesla's major contribution to this world of electronics as much as I should of. Sorry, but I only got so much to pull from when I hit the electronics world. My statement was more of a question. It seems to me that a drop in load that fast over a line capable of handling it (which isnt a heater, tv, etc.) seems to be cause to suspect that the person making this statement was talking about DC power.
