[sdiy] Wire Gauge Help

[Bob Weigel]

Any wire bigger than 24 guage that doesn't have thin insulation should 
be ok.  1.5A by code I think requires ...  well it goes 12 guage for 
20A, 14 for 15A, 16 for 10A, then I think 18 for 6A so 20 guage would be 
plenty even but for insulation you might want to go with 18guage 
depending on what you have available. -Bob
