FOR U.S. INSTALLATIONS, READ THIS IMPORTANT NOTE!

This table lists the mm2 and AWG wire size for each circuit breaker size shown on the wiring diagrams. The minimum recommended circuit breaker sizes for each model and voltage application are listed on the wiring diagrams.

Conductor sizes shall be no smaller than the 75°C wire size based on the ampacities given in Table 310–16 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1999, and article 220. All circuit conductors, including the neutral conductor, must be the same size (ampacity) wire. Code may require a larger AWG size than shown in this table because of temperature, number of conductors in the conduit, or long service runs. Follow local code requirements.
