Wire Gauge Selection
Care must be taken to properly size all conductors for the input and output of the
power source. This section provides guidance in the selection of wire size.
CAUTION!
Use wire with Class B or C stranding. Fine-stranded (flexible) wire should not be
used unless crimp-on lugs or ferrules are utilized that are approved for fine-stranded
cables.
2.12.1 Wire Size
The tables below will assist in determining the appropriate wire size for both the input
and output connections. Table 2-7 gives minimum recommended wire size; these
recommendations are for 30
° C ambient, and for copper wire only. This table is
derived from the National Electrical Code and is for reference only. Local laws and
conditions may have different requirements. For higher ratings, wires can be
paralleled; refer to the National Electrical Code for guidelines.
