let me try my math again. 220v/15a=14.67ohms 14.67/.34 is right at 41 ft
My mistake on the length. But, you get the idea. If you have a lathe that can go slow or even a drill and supported piece of the right size all thread it is easy to turn the coils onto it. If you run out of room before all the wire is used, stop and start on the other end of the wire. Be careful not to get tangles in it and have someone with their finger on the switch.
Good link on the wire. Thanks
