    Tool used to detect all wires gauge on a circuit?

    I have a breaker that keeps popping when we turn on the Christmas lights. I know the lights don’t have much draw however they are on the same circuit as a reef tank which does have a large draw from a 4000gph pump as well as other filters and pumps. I wanted to upgrade the 15 amp to a 20 amp. I...

    12S socket wiring gauge

    Hello all It is striking how the wiring gauge (and hence current carrying capacity) of standard 12S socket wiring is much lower than would typically be used for, say, connecting a secondary battery on-board the vehicle in a camper van. What is the reason for this? Is the assumption that a...
