Wire Gauge Required Question
For some reason I just can't understand the various wire gauge tables, and I have tried to, so I am hoping somebody will take pity and do all the work! :) One table that I can follow says that for...

Engineering? THIS is engineering! :)
The tangle of #8 and wire nuts etc parallels the 130w (8.2a) and the two 100s (6.2a each) using the 25 ft booster cable #1 gauge cu clad al, to five or ten ft more #8 and wire nuts and clamped to the battery pos post and the Trimetric shunt.
Result--20.1a on the Trimetric (0.5a less than total Isc) So there was some loss along there, and I don't know if that would matter with MPPT at 7.67a
Next time I am thinking to tidy that up a little and have just the one panel to go there, but first I need that minimum wire gauge.
