Last year we used 14 gauge wier connected to a victor. In the development phase a wire was pinched and shorted. The wire got hot enough to melt the insulation off, and also melted a pneumatic line next to the wire.

I'd recommend using the 10 gauge wire. It shouldn't get hot enough to melt the insulation if shorted. We had to replace a lot of wiring after that short. We probably wouldn't have had to if we'd used 10 gauge wire.
