Re: Motor Wire Specs?
[R44]
All active circuits shall be wired with appropriately sized wire:
Application: Minimum wire size
40A circuit: 12 AWG (2.052mm)
30A circuit: 14 AWG (1.628mm)
20A circuit: 18 AWG (1.024mm)
between the PD Board and the Analog and/or Solenoid Breakouts if a common power feed is used
between the PD Board and the Analog and/or Solenoid Breakouts if individual power feeds are used: 20 AWG (0.8128mm)
between the PD Board and the cRIO
between the PD Board and the wireless bridge
between the PD board and 5A custom circuits
pneumatic valves: 24 AWG (0.5106mm)
The branch circuit may include intermediate elements such as COTS connectors, splices, COTS flexible/rolling/sliding contacts, and COTS slip rings, as long as the entire electrical pathway is via appropriately gauged conductors.
Wires that are originally attached to legal devices are part of the device and by default legal as supplied. Such wires are exempt from Rules [R44] and [R45].
Thus, it depends on what fuse they are hooked up to. CIM motors will always have to be 40 amp though, and controlled by a Jaguar or Victor.
