I understand that by using multiple wires, we could increase the surface area of the conductor and thus, allowing more current to pass from one point to another. Does that apply to terminal blocks as well? Here is an example:
Say if I had a terminal block where each contact is rated at 15A, and wish to pass 20A current through it. So if I were to use a cable rated at 20A to connect 2 separate contacts on the terminal block strip, will those 2 contacts then able to support 20A of current?
