OK, first look at this table for information about 22 AWG wire. American Wire Gauge table and AWG Electrical Current Load Limits

It clearly states that the maximum amps for chassis wiring is 7 A. That can support 700 W, conservatively. That is the equivalent of running 27 26W CFL lightbulbs.

Before you say the power transmission rating like a douche, please read the description of those ratings above the table.

Another thing about the wiring, if you use the wiring that I have (shown in the pic above), you'd see that the maximum current through any wire is at the terminals and that would only be 1/2 the total load, clearly by symmetry. So that means the wires could potentially support 14A, or or 1400 W.

That website also contains a calculator so you can verify various numbers such as voltage drops and power dissipation if you don't believe me.

you're just an ignorant pussy who is all smug about your redundant safety. Clearly I know what I'm talking about, so you can go fuck yourself.
