Using the 12V out jack for measuring voltage can be used as a fault check of
the
power pole continuity as well. It can remove doubt if test okay.

I stated the voltage drop across a resistance (the wire conductor) is
directly proportional to the amount of current flow (amperage) through it.
For a given resistance, as the current increases through it, the voltage
drop increases in it.
Changing the supply voltage will change the current
.

Hi Ron,
Yes, but it will show internal voltage drop in addition to the power lead
conductor(s) drop,
especially at key-down with full load. (At least mine does.)
I wanted to say this before people would think they had a problem.

I didn't check your figures, but I agree with your understanding except at
240 volts, that same wire gauge would have twice the capacity.

I better say 'twice the current carrying capacity'.
