Re: Our Power Distribution

I used 14 gauge for the spikes and robot control power lines, should I use larger?

Re: Our Power Distribution

if you mean higher guage, then yes, you could use 18 and save some weight. However, if you're not having weight issues, then it's not a huge deal.

They are the same as provide in your KOP. You may purchase extras from IFI or from other vendors. I recommend you have a few spares. They sometimes go bad.

Michael,
You can use #14 but the the electrical rules set wire minimum sizes based on the breaker you choose to use for each branch circuit. The robot section has a complete list of size vs. breaker.
