I like it. Maybe specify in that article that stranded wire is important to use. Otherwise...nice read.

    Sorry, I always use stranded wire, never even considered anything else, my bad. We just made that correction, I guess, LOL! :)

      Yeah it is an easy oversight. I often ask myself when I am trying to spread information: 'What about this am I taking for granted and would a child understand it?' I am in no way perfect at it all but I give it my best.

        The last time I use solid wire, I stripped the insulation and made coils for an antennae tuner. :)

          I avoid it unless I am doing AC power or just need to create a ground.

            I use stranded wire on AC also, easier to pull through conduit. :)

                I am lazy, so I like easy pulls. I have no idea how many miles of wire I have pulled into conduit, but it is quite a few, LOL! :D

                  :) I have not pulled miles of it but I have done a good bit of it over the years. One of my favorite tricks to make it easier is to tie a lubricated condom to a long piece of mason string and suck it through the conduit with a shop vac. Once it is through I tie the wire to the end and start pulling. That trick has made some ridiculously curvy runs so much easier. I have used pieces of latex gloves to do the same. I learned that trick from someone years ago and I still marvel at the simplicity of it.
