Hi again.
maybe I'm over complicating this, I don't know..
Basically I'm having problems understanding what type of cable would be more appropriate for use in power transmissions. (ie 4/5 conductor cable from a PSU to Mixer). I've been looking at a few online stores and I gotta say there is a lot of different types of cable available.
As of right now, my needs are to send 325vdc @ 40mA and 12.6vdc @ 3 amps to a tube mixer.
So where do I start? Heres a couple questions
1. Looking at the wire current limits chart am I right in thinking 16 awg is enough?
2. How do I determine overall thickness and flexability when choosing?
3. Is the outter jacket important when choosing the type (Neoprene, PVC, etc.).
4. Is the insulation material important?
5. Is insulated cable used solely for this application?
6. In searching I've seen some mention of "control" cable.. is this whats generally used?
Thanks for helping. Maybe if this is worth while it can be added to the wire meta.
