Hello folks,
Had a question, I'm in the middle of
wiring my
boat for
shore power. I have the receptacle in, and from there the grounding wire then runs to a
galvanic isolator, and then I plan to put in a bus. Everything up to this point is 10-gauge wire. From there it'll branch to my circuit breaker, and to my engine's negative terminal. Should I use a 10-gauge or an 8-gauge wire from my
engine to the bus? On my DC circuit, it's an 8-gauge going from the
battery to the breaker, I assume this is because DC faults can create a lot of heat-inducing
current, but everything else on the AC circuit up to now has been 10, so it makes me curious.
Thank you
