Wire Standard
We have always used #14 and have not had any problems (so far); if you want to go to a bigger guage you may; the Rules Committee already said it was OK (and we might be requiring it next year); the 30A breakers that protect the Victor circuits will trip off before the wires heat up when a motor is stalled, but I wonder what might happen if a drill motor runs at near stall speeds for more than a few seconds. #14 stranded wire should probably not be protected by a 30A breaker.
