What is the wire gauge of the individual leads from your CT's?

Re: CT wire gauge
Mostly all of our CTs use 24AWG wire gauge. We have some 600V-rated CTs that may have a larger gauge.dbksearay wrote:What is the wire gauge of the individual leads from your CT's?

Re: CT wire gauge
If you're interested in extending the CT length you may use CAT6 cable which *most* are 23 AWG. You can also go to the local box stores and look for zoned irrigation cable. Which also range from 23-24 AWG and the benefit is they also come in 4-10 pair lines.dbksearay wrote:What is the wire gauge of the individual leads from your CT's?

Re: CT wire gauge
Thanks for the replies......
I am planning to use a telephone 66 Block Wiring Hub to organize my wires and wanted to know if it would be suitable.

Re: CT wire gauge
That would be perfectly fine so long as you can ensure the wires are isolated in groups before its terminated into the GEM.dbksearay wrote:Thanks for the replies......

Re: CT wire gauge
22 AWG would be even better in terms of wire diameter.
