I'm doing the wiring on an addition to my house, and I'm trying to figure out the acceptable length of runs (or to put it a different way, the proper wire size for the runs I need to make).
I've got a book that seems to be saying that the longest run I can make with 12 ga. wire on a 20 amp circuit is 35 feet. If I'm reading that right it would mean that at least some of my wiring needs to be done with something larger than 12 ga. since it's about that far (35') just to get to the addition from the breaker box.
Does that sound correct, or does it sound like I'm reading the table wrong? I was planning on using 12 ga wire all the way through, but now I'm not sure....
