I went there and it spit out 8AWG for 90 amps at 6 feet. Remember, the smaller the gauge (numerically) the less voltage drop. There recomendation for 12 volts is a 3% voltage drop. That's .36 volts for 6 feet. So your load will be seeing 11.64 volts. Not good.NoJoke said:Yeah but....
I went here and 6 foot calls for 10 to 12 gauge. I'll definately take your word and run 6 gauge....but why the difference in opinion? Just playing safe?
