SteveyDee68 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Stupid question of the day... DC layout - planning on being neat and having a “bus” to which all droppers are connected. Is plastic coated 1.5mm professional copper speaker wire suitable for a one engine moving inglenook? Thanks in advance Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire2865 Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Dont see why that wouldnt be suitable. Ive done similar with no issue before. Though for a major wire I would use a braided type if possible. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Grifone Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 There should be no problem, apart from the plastic coating getting in the way. 2.5mm² would be better, but, for a small layout,, 1.5mm² will be OK. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzie Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 1.5mm speaker wire will be fine for DC. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Moss Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 At the club we've used standard 1.5mm2 solid core out of twin and earth. Layouts can be switched between DCC and DC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
