In Reply to: RE: Clearing up the Cat 5 controversy posted by Ugly on September 09, 2015 at 22:02:52
Ugly, the wire I replaced the cat5 teflon wire with is Neotech hookup wire, up-occ copper solid core 18ga, 105ºC, 600v. I'll also follow the suggestion made by madisonears (thank you) and add a second run per each leg. Also there is plenty of clearance around the wire connections which are also covered with clear silicone which is also low volatile and high heat resistant. And I'm not using it to embed any part of the filter. Once cured there is no danger of fumes. And it's not plugged into a 20A circuit nor will it be. As for vibrations shaking anything loose and causing a catastrophic disaster, I don't believe it would happen; everything is solidly placed.
I wonder if anyone who built the very same AC filter years before me has had such a disaster?
Thanks for the advise and your concerns ugly.

Sounds like a solid plan. Doubled up 18gauge, with the 600V rating will be sufficient without question.
I must admit, throughout my whole adult life, barely a week goes by without attending the funeral of a loved on who was fried by a small household appliance.
