Re: What gauge wires

Okay...

My question was in reference to the discrepency... I was wondering if they knew there was an error (or if it was intentional, noted it somewhere) Obviously the larger wire wouldnt hurt, but some teams may get confused and use the *heavier* unnecesary 10 AWG wire for solenoids, relays, etc.

Also, larger wires can handle more current, measured in amps.
