Forget the ABYC tables for sizing wires according to amperage and round
trip distance. Google "WIRESIZER". This free program will calculate the
necessary wire size based on amps, distance, and tolerable voltage drop. It even
takes into account wires in a bundle and insulation temperature rating. You
can save money by not having to go to the next higher size in the ABYC
tables. This program has been previously mentioned here as far back as 2002.
