Wire Pulgs and Wire
I'm thinking ahead to the nesc wire and connectors I'm going to need. Anyone have any exeriance's they'd like to offer? I've found some decent connectors [ I think ] from Digi-Key [pg 256 of the Canadian cataloge- Series 1]. I'd like to hear from others as to what has worked for them.
My other question is about wiring. I'm planning on buying a larger quantity of some type of wiring and using it pretty much everywhere as far as stepper and limit switch leads are concerned. I'm thinking I'll only be needing 4 cond. 16 AWG wire. My steppers will be taking about 65v and up to 6A each, they will be connected in parrellel. Has anyone needed more than 4 conductor or been glad they went w/ a 6 or 8? I guess maybe for insurance it would be worth getting more but it will cost more when buying in the 100-200' quantity range, esp w/ shielded wire.
Opinions welcome
