I am trying to figure out how one could increase carrying capacity of lines run 20' to a DC motor to minimize voltage drop.
12V, 6 amps continuous is roughly what will run for 6 hours, with max amps of 18 for short periods of time (10 min).
I currently have 2 wires of 8GA running. Can I increase current carrying capacity by adding two more lines at 8GA versus replacing 8GA with 6GA or 4GA?
I am trying to minimize voltage drop as well.
Thanks
