Wire size is based on the amperage of the load. Without knowing what the motors's full load amperage is, an answer can not be given.

What size wire is standard for 120-volt motor control system?

Wire size for any piece of equipment is based on the equipments load amperage. The higher the amperage that larger the wire size has to be. For motor loads the motor's amperage has to be increased by 25% to size the conductor. Example, a 10 amp motor load current plus 25% equals 12.5 amps. This would boost the wire size from a #14 to a #12 conductor. This additional amperage increasing is also used for transformer conductor sizing.

What size wire for trolling motor?

The size of wire needed for a trolling motor depends on the motor's maximum amperage draw and the length of the wire run. A general guideline for a 12V trolling motor is 6-gauge wire for runs up to 10 feet, 4-gauge wire for runs up to 20 feet, and 2-gauge wire for runs over 20 feet to minimize voltage drop and ensure proper performance. Be sure to consult the manufacturer's recommendations for your specific trolling motor.


What size wire and breaker for a 7.5 hp motor?

For a 7.5 hp motor operating at 240V, you would typically use a 14-gauge wire and a 40 amp breaker. However, it is best to consult the motor's specifications and the National Electrical Code to determine the exact wire size and breaker needed for your specific setup.
