User terminals and stranded copper wire should have a minimum
temperature rating of 105°C. Ring terminals are recommended.
Wire Sizes and Insulation
Wire sizes for grounding (earthing), current, voltage, and contact
connections are dictated by the terminal blocks and expected load
currents. You can use the following table as a guide in selecting
wire sizes:
Use wire with 0.4 mm-thick insulation for high-voltage
connections to allow for contact between adjacent wires. If
possible, use 0.4 mm insulated wires for all connections.
