Re: Correct wire sizing




Alexei asked:

Yes.  In general, it takes the next larger size of aluminum
wire to get the same current capacity (similar loss) as copper
wire.

Has anyone ever seen non-copper wire in an automobile?  I should
think that it would be inconvenient to use due to it being larger
or stiffer or whatever.
