Actually I was referring to Table 310-17 of the NEC for single conductors. The 90C-rated 18 awg conductors are rated at 18 amps at 30C. But don't get lost in the detail. The point I was making is that the NEC does not address any wire gauges smaller than 18. It is quite common to use 24...
I wonder if there are any codes/standards out there to address industrial equipment, specifically the small-signal control circuitry and wiring they often utilize.
For instance, I know that it is good practice, but is there a code or standard out there that actually says to keep AC and DC...
