Hey Allen,

For what it's worth, I had never heard of ampacity until I started reading the NEC. This is in spite of the fact that I've got a piece of paper that says I'm a degreed electrical engineer.

I realize that I should have explained "voltage drop" a little better. I rushed a bit because I needed to get to work. You are correct, the sum of the voltages in the circuit equals zero. If my explanation confused anybody, I'll be happy to give a better one.

As for "E=IR" versus "V=IR", it just depends where you went to school. For electrical engineers, voltage is "V" not "E". (Actually, we use little "v" when we're in the time domain and big "V" when we're in the frequency domain, if you want to get picky. Whatever.) Any chance that you learned your electronics at a little place outside Memphis?

Best regards,
mark
