[GreenKeys] AC Sync Wire Lead

[drlegendre .]

You'll be just fine with 18ga. Take a look at this AWG rating table:

http://www.powerstream.com/Wire_Size.htm

18ga. = 16A max / 16ga = 22A max (for chassis wiring). Even the 18ga is
good for like 10X the average current for that motor, which I'd guess is
1.5A or so?
