How do you think this AC power will be?


DH Labs Silver Sonic-Red Wave Premium A/C Power Cable (10 gauge)

SonarQuest CRYO AG Silver Plated Series US NEMA Power Plug Connector ST-AgP(B) & ST-AgC(B)




I'm not doing anything fancy at least for now. I'm just connecting the wires to the plugs and that's it.

The Helix geometry allows you to build a thiner Power Cable...
- the live wire is 10 gauge
- the neutral is 2 x 12 gauge wires - combined makes a 9 gauge wire
- the ground can still be a single12 gauge wire
- the neutral and the ground also provides sheilding for the live wire


I have been reading your methods on making them from your website and am planning to make them since I have some cables left. I have read around and some do have different gauge sizes for E,L & N. May I know what is the reason having them in different gauge sizes? Also have you tried using smaller gauge size for ground side(thicker size) with L and N using same gauge ? I have tried using same gauge for L & N with doubling up the ground wire by twisting each ground cable to L and N side. It was a very nice improvemnt when i compared to another cable i had that was much more expensive than this diy version.
Hi Steve

Thanks for the reply much apprecitate it.

I am assuming you twisted one ground around the neutral and another ground around the signal?

 Yes thats correct, twisting them was quite a pain and hooking them up with the connectors was also quite a challange. 

I will get them done as soon as my ac plugs have arrived. It will definitely be fun doing a comparison with different designs.
