2.1 - SELECTING THE APPROPRIATE CABLE SIZE
Cablesmustbesizedtocarrythemaximumexpectedload.Under-sizedcablescan
resultinover-heating,meltedconnectionsandareapotentialrehazard.
Refer to TABLE 1 below for the current carrying capacity by cable size. These values
are for cable lengths of 6 feet (1.83 meters) or less. It is preferable that all cables in a
series connection or in a parallel connection are the same length.
Tosignicantlyreducetheamountofheatgeneratedattheterminals,
usecableswithsolder-dippedends.

Terminalconnectionsmustbetightenedusingthecorrecttorquevaluesasdened
in TABLE 2below.Overorundertightenedconnectionscanresultinterminal
breakage,over-heatingand/ormeltdown.Usingthepropertorquevaluewillprovide
optimumconductivity.Toavoidashortcircuit,useawrenchwithaninsulatedor

for proper washer placement.
NEVER place a washer between the mating surfaces of the terminals
andcables.Thiswillcompromiseelectricaltransmissionandincrease
