Recommended Wire Gauge for Current 

A Voltage drop is the amount of voltage lost through 

a wire.  Example of a 2 Volt drop would be if one end of the 
wire has 12 Volts and the other end has 10 Volts.  Voltage 
drops are caused by undersized wiring in the vehicle, 
resulting in solenoids not getting the needed voltage for 
proper operation.  A voltage drop occurs as current is pulled 
through a wire by the load.  A load is any device being 
supplied power by the wire, example a Transbrake solenoid.  
When a load is put on a wire, a Voltage drop will occur.  The 
larger the wire the smaller this voltage drop will be.  To 
minimize the voltage drop through the vehicle wiring, use 
the listing below to select the wire gauge needed. 

 
1-15    Amps 14 gauge 
16-25   Amps 12 gauge 
26-40   Amps 10 gauge 
41-60   Amps 8 gauge 
61-80   Amps 6 gauge 
81-120  Amps 4 gauge 
 
The length of wire also affects the amount of the 

Voltage drop.  Every foot of wire used will increase the total 
amount of Voltage dropped by the wire.  To compensate for 
this;  

 

If the wire is less than 5 feet long you can use the next size 
smaller wire.  (20 Amps less than 5 feet – use 14 gauge) 
 
If the wire is more than 10 feet long you need to use the next 
size larger wire.  (20 Amps more than 10 feet – use 10 
gauge)
