Re: The Final List of Materials!
Dude unless something has changed since I went to vo-tech in the early 80's (real early HA HA) ok may late 70's. 14awg=15a 12awg=20a 10awg=30a.
I looked on the web site and those amp ratings come with this asterick.
* Amp rating is the maximum value for a single conductor at a room temperature of 86° F. Amp rating decreases as temperature increases, or if conductors are bundled together or inserted into conduit.
Like I said If you run 8 wires down your good. That would be easier to hook to the elements if they just have male spade conectors on them. I used 4 #10awg's of regular wire and kept them out of the heat. And wired them two and two.
I always remember what my voc-tech teacher told me " always over wire and under fuse and you'll never have to sleep with your boots on."
