Wire Gauge

[yorttroy]

I am running 3 power max 2 (116oz, 65v, 1.16v) to a Xylotex controller with a 28v 15a power supply. What gauge of wire should I run from my steppers to the controller? My furthest connection is less then 6 feet.

Yup, it does not require much...but were it my nickel I'd buy a 25 ft. 16 ga. extension cord and cut it to length... protective jacket, flexible, cheap, available, and comes with a ground wire if you want it.

You probably have to use 22ga to hook up to the motor, but run that to a nearby terminal strip and then use a larger gauge.

Thank you for the information, I will run 16 gauge all the way.
