Using OHM's Law: Volts divided by Amps equals Ohms.
If I use Paragon's Amperage rating of 16 Amps on a 120v (1920 W) kiln that would equal 7.5 Ohms.
So.......IF (and that's IF) I wind my own element I should also shoot for 7.5 Ohms.
I would still like to know what gauge Kanthal A1 to use to get the proper stretched length and resistance I need BEFORE I buy it.
