wire diameter for specific loads
Voltage has no bearing on size cause wires/cables are rated in Amps/cm^2. Like a stun gun that has 1,000,000Volts and 30something gauge wires...this is because the amperage is like .000001 amps. Some really high power lines are rated in Power/cm^2 but this is only for appilcations the govt. can...- RawDog

wire diameter for specific loads
Hey all you need to evaluate the wire gauge for is Amps...the freq. is not relavent unless doing some communication signal design. So go to: http://www.bnoack.com/index.html?http&&&www.bnoack.com/data/wire-resistance.html Click (CABLING) on left scroll menu Click (POWER CABLE AMPERAGE) and...- RawDog
