The following notes apply to Table 3–1 and to the power cable definition:

1. The above figures are based upon insulated copper conductors at 25C (77F),

two current carrying conductors in the cable plus a safety (chassis) ground.

Columns 3 and 4 refer to “one way” ohms and IR drop of current carrying

conductors (e.g., a 50-foot cable contains 100 feet of current carrying conductor).

2. Determine which wire gauge for the application by knowing the expected peak

load current (I

peak

), the maximum tolerated voltage loss (V

loss

) within the cable,

and the one way cable length.

The formula below determines which ohms/100 feet entry is required from

Column 3. Read the corresponding wire gauge from Column 1.

(Column 3 value) =

loss

/[I

peak

x 0.02 x (cable length)]

Where:

Column 3 value =

Entry of the table above.

Cable length =

One way cable length in feet.

loss

Maximum loss, in volts, permitted within cable.

Special case

: Should the V

loss

requirement be very loose, I

peak

may exceed the

maximum amperes (Column 2). In this case, the correct wire gauge is selected

directly from the first two columns of the table.

Example:

A 20 ampere (I

peak

) circuit which may have a maximum 0.5 volt

drop (V

loss

) along its 15-foot cable (one way cable length) requires (by formula)

a Column 3 resistance value of 0.083. This corresponds to wire gauge size 8

AWG.

If the cable length was 10 feet, the Column 3 value would be 0.125 and the

corresponding wire gauge would be 10 AWG.

3. Aluminum wire is not recommended due to soft metal migration at the terminals

which may cause long term (on the order of years) poor connections and

oxidation. If used, increase the wire gauge by two sizes (e.g., specify 10 gauge

aluminum instead of 14 gauge aluminum).
