Title: Determine the appropriate wire size, based on equipment load amperage.
Course: Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration I (17056-I) > Section: Understanding Basic Electricity

Determination should include

- correlating correct wire sizes to identified load amperages
- correlating identified wire sizes to correct load amperages
- locating and identifying chart specifications
- confirming specifications in the National Electrical Code (NEC).

Process/Skill Questions:

- What is AWG?
- What is the most commonly used gauge?
- How does gauge size correlate to capacity?
- What are the minimum and maximum load ratings for air-conditioning units?
