Home Depot (at least their online store) doesn't have 5AWG stranded bare copper, which is the closest I can find to the 3/16 measurement he gives (.1875") |

Their website actually sucks. It is much cheaper than this guy...You should try your local HD store in S. Korea. Tracy |

They may actually have one somewhere in Seoul.. they have a Wally World there.. but the Koreans wouldn't know what heavy wire was.. they don't use anything as large as 5AWG even in their distribution system.. our building (six apartments) is fed with wire somewhere between AWG 8 and AWG 10.. |
Do they have a lot of electrical fires?

Most Koreans use very few electrical appliances (at least very few at a time.. power is VERY expensive here). Most houses have just a few lights, a stereo, a TV and some fans. Some have A/C, maybe an electric rice cooker.. They don't have electric stoves, nor electric clothes dryers (or gas ones either, for the most part). Cooking is done with LPG, heating and hot water with (the same) small oil-fired boiler. There is no on-demand hot water. You push a button on your heating thermostat and wait about 10 minutes to get hot water for dishes or a shower. In addition, almost all lighting is fluorescent.. very efficient, but also very noisy (both audibly because of cheaply made ballasts, and RF wise).. Also, they can get away to a certain extent with the smaller wiring because their supply voltage is 220V/60Hz. This means half the amperage for the same amount of power as with 120 V systems. Step-down autotransformers are sold (primarily to GI's) to obtain 110-120 Volts for running US equipment. In our home, we have installed specially made isolation step-down transformers so that we could install a system with a neutral and ground (mainly so we could use our UPS's). The Korean system has no ground. It also has no neutral.. both wires are hot and floating (you can be shocked touching either wire and anything that is remotely connected to Earth). This makes it very interesting to work with.. e.g. changing a light fixture, switch or outlet.. since the switches and breakers switch only one side of the line... |
It's no surprise that they use far less power than we do (Americans tend to
use more power per person than most). I wasn't aware that their power was 240 though. Considering that, the wire sizes are not unreasonable. The closest I have ever been to Korea is Japan. There, they use 100 volts, 60 Hz. They too are heavily into florescent lights and on demand hot water. "Brenda Ann" wrote in message ... "CW" wrote in message ...
