The type of wire stranding is important when it comes to the maximum load capacity of a wire. With DC current, the more strands in a gauge of wiring the better it can carry the load without overheating and failing. Compare a lower grade of wire made of 19 strands of individual 21 gauge wire wound to form a 8 gauge wire, to the wire shown below, that is made up of 133 strands of 29 gauge wires to form the same 8 gauge wire. | The type of wire stranding is important when it comes to the maximum load capacity of a wire.
