Hey Lawrence,
Your example reminds me of a good rule of thumb with wire. The rule of
3. Parallel any two wires of the same gauge and you drop 3 gauges. So
two 10's go to AWG 7, and so forth. It's very helpful in winding
transformers and motors, but you can get into trouble in some cases in
house wiring. Check the NEC if you wanna do it for your house.

If you need a bigger carrying capacity this calculator will tell what is
needed. For instance I needed 10 gauge wire to ground my antenna. I only had 12
gauge. Two strands equal 9 gauge. Two strands is safe. Lawrence
