Say for a given number of turns, I need a current carrying capacity thats greater than the wire I am winding it with. I know I can use multiple strands of lower guage wiring to handle higher currents, but what exactly do I base that on?
For example, if I need it to handle a current of 2 amps, can I use two strands 22 awg guage wires (22awg is rated for 0.92A)?
Also, what exactly is the winding technique for mulitple strands? Do I twist the wires together and then wind them as normal? (something like **broken link removed**). If so, how tightly do the wires need to be twisted together?
