> The code says you can run up to 30 amps on 14 gauge.
Really? I always thought 14 gauge wire was suitable only for 15 amp circuits, 12 gauge for 20 amp circuits, and 8 gauge for 30 amp circuits.
Better still, heres a link to a site that will calculate the appropriate wire size for a specified length and current draw, based on the National Electric Code:
