Comment on Why is daisychaining multiple extension cords considered unsafe, even if only done to the length of a standard cable?
Yes, maximum carried current is indeed invariant of length. I explained math behind it in lemm.ee/comment/17115060
We may be discussing slightly different things here, I’m not sure if I follow the application of your math in this context.
My point is that a thinner wire will get much hotter than a thicker wire, given the same amount of current. Is this not the case?
Correct. And temperature does not depend on length. We already said it.
