Re: Wiring to amps and equipment

Hey Guys,

The studio is framed out and I'm running wire. Questions are, 14/2 or 12/2
wire to outlets for amps? Also, I'm not sure if this applies to house wiring
but in automotive wiring some of the wires are twisted to eliminate
interference. Would this help, hurt or not matter either way?

TIA,

Piper




I would use 12 gauge and wire to a 20 amp breaker. Make sure the grounding is done properly.

These days, most electricians use 20 amp/12 gauge for outlets and 15 amp/ 14 gauge for lighting fixture circuits.

Do not twist the ac wiring.
