An cable must have adequate wire size (AWG or
American Wire Gauge) for safety.
The smaller the
gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the
cable, that is, 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge.
An undersized cable will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using
more than one cable to make up the total length, be sure
each individual cable contains at least the minimum wire
size. The following table shows the correct size to use
depending on cable length and nameplate ampere rating.
If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The lower the
gauge number, the heavier the cable.
