Re: January 8th Team Update

The update to R48 is confusing... 20A circuit breakers now have 2 conflicting minimum wire gauges? 14 gauge for 20-30, but 18 gauge for 5-20... are these numbers inclusive, exclusive, or what?

Personally, I hope the intention is to allow 18 gauge wire with 20A circuit breakers, like in years past. The rule as initially stated worried me from an inspection standpoint, as many teams would have assumed the previous rules for wire gauges were still good...
