Thanks Richard.
Do you know if there is a formula to calculare the max power that a
wire can supports?

Thanks.

Max power that the wire can support would be based solely on the
amperage it can carry. You would need to know what the amps are at a
current node ... but, I have run a KW+ on #12.

Currently, I use 1/4 inch copper tubing over steel fencing wire (steel
wire is for strength.) It has supported 5KW+ easily ...
