Look at 97.4 where it explains the schematics. However, although 97.4 states that all wire is specified in AWG, all but the earliest diagrams are in mm^2 -- easy to tell apart because they will be (mostly) small numbers with decimals instead of large numbers without. Here are rough equivalents: Square mm AWG 1.0 17 1.5 15 2.5 13 4.0 11 6.0 10+ 10.0 7 ... 50 0 70 2/0 Since AWG wire doesn't ordinarily come in odd sizes, use the next smaller-numbered available size. david > Either in AWG or in mm.?
