Re: wire ga. vs. power

[Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-uswest-dot-net>]

Hi Chris,

	The chart I just posted at:

http://1071737050/site/misc/WireGaugeChart.jpg

has this in the third column from the right.  It lists gauges 1 through 40.
 All such numbers are always a little "subject to interpretation" but still
good to go by.  The voltage does not matter unless it arcs over or
something.  The current is what determines how hot the wire gets.

Cheers,

	Terry
