Use 300-400 CMA (Circular Mil Area) per Amp. I don't fully understand why this value of CMA is used as a guideline, but I will lend my trust to the people that know and start by accepting this rule of thumb. As it is, it even seems to be a bit of a conservative rule, as I have read some comments about it, suggesting even greater liberal use of wire gauge per Amp.

CMA is a simple calculation:

Wire Dia^2 or Dia x Dia
