Table 8‑4 Breaker and wire sizing

Application

Minimum Wire Size

31  40A breaker protected circuit

12 AWG

(13 SWG or 4 mm2)

21  30A breaker protected circuit

14 AWG

(16 SWG or 2.5 mm2)

6  20A breaker protected circuit

18 AWG

(19 SWG or 1 mm2)

11-20A fuse protected circuit

Between the PDP dedicated terminals and the VRM/RPM or PCM/PH

Compressor outputs from the PCM/PH

Between the PDH and PCM/PH

Between the PDP/PDH and the roboRIO

22 AWG

(22 SWG or 0.5 mm2)

Between the PDH and VRM/RPM

Kraken x60 Powerpole Adapter protected circuit

≤5A breaker protected circuit

≤10A fuse protected circuit

VRM 2A circuits

24 AWG

(24 SWG or .25 mm2)

roboRIO PWM port outputs

26 AWG

(27 SWG or 0.14 mm2)

SIGNAL LEVEL circuits (i.e. circuits which draw ≤1A continuous and have a source incapable of delivering >1A, including but not limited to roboRIO non-PWM outputs, CAN signals, PCM/PH Solenoid outputs, VRM 500mA outputs, RPM outputs, and Arduino outputs)

28 AWG

(29 SWG or .08 mm2)

Wires that are recommended by the device manufacturer or originally attached to legal devices are considered part of the device and by default legal. Such wires are exempt from this rule.

In order to show compliance with these rules, teams should use wire with clearly labeled sizes if possible. If unlabeled wiring is used, teams should be prepared to demonstrate that the wire used meets the requirements of this rule (e.g. wire samples and evidence that they are the required size).
