Wire Gauge
considerations Before connecting the unit to a power source, the wire
gauge must be taken into account. Load wires must be
large enough to resist overheating when a short-circuit
condition occurs as well as to maintain a good regulation.
The size, polarity and length of a wire are all factors in
determining if a wire will withstand short circuiting.
Wires that are selected must be large enough to withstand
a short circuit and limit voltage drops to no more than 2V
per wire. Use the table below to help make a suitable
selection.
