A good intro, I always think of the sun when figuring out my AC cable, black gets hot in the sun the grass grows green on the ground and the white doesnt care or stays neutral.
When choosing wire size, don't just consider volts and amps - distance also matters. The further the distance (from battery/source to the load - ROUND TRIP), the larger the wire size too. Say if, for example, 14GA wire was sufficient for a 2ft run, a 10GA wire would be needed for the same amperage if it were a 15ft run. There are many charts available online to describe your particular given situation.

Great video. Thorough, precise and direct. Wish I found earlier.
Great video, well done. Thank you!
thank you sir for sharering your knowledge
Very knowledgable
Of course, the colours are valid in the in the US alone. I've never heard of "ampacity" lol
We in the electrical industry use the word 'ampacity' probably every day.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Pointless useless information
