What gauge wire does this unit use? I'm trying to decide whether to get this or the Intermatic AG3000, which uses 10 gauge. Which unit is better ?

I just used the wires supplied from the unit itself. Simple 3 wire connection. There are no additional connections or additional wire needed. Simple instructions will show you where to connect them. Should you have any issues, please let me know. You will be very happy with this unit. I am. Ron, Mesa, AZPS remember to shut off A/C unit breaker before attempting to install.

I'm not sure about the actual size of the wire connected to the Supco SCM150, but I did connect it to my cutoff box, which uses 10 gauge wire.

I have 0/1 gauge so I'm using a 300a. If I were you I'd go with a 150a-200a.

I don't know the gauge wire but it's what you find in most amp kits , I have mine pushing a set of 15 in. Kickers also a set of 12 in. Pr3 it pushes them easily .

Please check your owner's manual. It will give the amps of your unit. It should also say what gauge extension to use, depending on the length of the extension. If not, there will be Web sites that will give the gauge for the amps and length.

I used 8 gauge for 6*9. Personally I would go 6 gauge. But not knowing the power of your amp and Speakers I can't say more. Don't buy the cheaper ones. Solid copper not copper coated.

10 gauge. Just got mine in today and it says "Includes 27.6 in. cables (AWG 10) with ring connectors"

I used 16 gage and my system sounds fine. The thicker the wire is, the better. But I think 16 gage is fine for most applications.

It is recommended to wire direct with 10 gauge wire, with 30 amp breaker. If you were to wire a plug in pig tail for an outlet, it would most likely trip the standard 20 amp or 15 amp breaker. It would also decrease the heated water performance of the heater. This unit did not work well for me at my kitchen sink because even with the correct wire gauge and connections, it had to have the low flow restrictor on the fixture to just achieve luke warm water. I went to a 2 Gallon tank point of use heater. It works great with no flow restriction and gets very hot if you set the temp setting higher. It the Reliance brand.

I would have to say 4 gauge at the max. I got a 0/1 gauge wire and had to cut a good bit just to get it to fit in. Mines still going strong good luck!(:

No it's not 20 gauge. I searched for 20 gauge and purchased this wire based on the search. Had to reorder the right gauge.

Hi Janet, wire gauge is 16 AWG, comes with a 5 Amp fuse. but now I use it with one of 10 Amp. through it start to run a 120V power inverter 375W

The gauge size of the wire is 12 gauge and can be upgraded to 10 gauge if you order directly from the Renogy store. -LP

I'm also using.035 wire with mine. You will need to run a bit hotter then what you chart calls for.

Thank you for your inquiry. This machine strips 10 gauge wire to 0 gauge, which is 3mm to 9mm wire. It will "not" strip THHN wire, Coaxial Cable, 12 gauge wire, 14 gauge wire, or any wire thinner than 14 gauge. If you have any questions or concerns, please email us or call us at the number below. Thanks! Have a great day. Sincerely, Tom Cupilary Affordable Tool, LLC Customer Service Phone: 734-224-7758 Fax: 734-224-7208

To answer the first question , depending on how far the amp is from the battery the longer the distance the bigger the wire. Also if you are trying to get all the power out of the amp all the time, then yes 2 gauge wire and if this is the case I would recommend getting capacitor at least a 2 far. The question I would say refer to the manufacturer for those details!

It does come with an owners manual, It says to use 10 gauge wire,but you should use an 8 guage wire to use the full capacity of the heater. I used a double pole 40 amp breaker.Works great,would not buy anything else
