1. Measure total wire length. Be sure to include the ground circuit.
2. To find the correct wire gauge: match the amperage, at correct voltage and wire length, (or next larger footage)
NOTE: This chart is based upon a 10% maximum voltage drop, for 5% voltage drop, use double the measured wire length.

These are only General Guidelines.
Consult with the manufacturer of your equipment for specific requirements.
