I noticed last night that some of the wiring to the motor controllers was done using 12AWG wire that did not have the wire size printed on it. The reel had the wire size on it and the conductor size looked right when compared to wire of a know size.

Thanks.

We have never had a problem with that however if the inspector feels that the wire diameter is too small they can have you change that wire to something of the correct size.

What are you running with that wire? Are you right on the cusp of the amperage limit for that guage of wire or do you oversize all your wire?
