Wiring Techniques
Selecting Wire
The size and type of wire used depends on the type of circuit it is being used in. Larger diameter wire is required for higher amperage circuits (A/C cicuits of monitors and power supplies), whereas smaller diameter wire can be used in lower amperage circuits (control circuits). There are two basic types of wire: stranded and solid. Solid wire is more rigid and holds its shaped better than stranded wire. However, stranded wire is more flexible and easier to work with than solid wire.
