5.1.1 Wiring Gauge

The required gauge of the AC input, DC+/DC- input and AC output cabling is determined by the current rat-

ing, circuit breaker rating, typical ambient temperatures and the applicable local electrical codes. Typically

the AC input and standard AC output is 6 wires (L1, L2, and L3, N, N, G) up to 350 kcmil THHW or RW90

type cable that connects to the AMPS80 HP system with trade size up to 2.5" conduit.
