NOTE: These wire sizes have been engineered to provide optimum rotor loading
for the BWC EXCEL1/24 wind turbine. Deviation from these recommen-
dations can result in decreased performance from your machine and / or
unnecessary additional wire-run costs. It may also cause the incidence
of nuisance breaker tripping. The use of a wire gage two sizes larger
than the recommended size is acceptable and is recommended if alumi-
num wire is used.
