I am working with Bob's Z-13/8 and I am confused about the wire size between the main -> e-bus. In the drawing he has it as 20AWG. This seems way to small to me to power the e-bus. 



In my scenario, my load diagram shows the e-bus loads can reach 25A. Am I correct in thinking this wire should be 12AWG instead?



Also, the wire from my Batt. bus to the E-Bus is 14AWG on my schematic, should that also be 12AWG?



Thanks for the clarification...

   The Z-figures are ARCHITECTURE drawings, not

   wiring diagrams for any specific task. A load

   analysis using your specific constellation of

   accessories will set system loads and wire

   sizes which may indeed be different than

   'suggestions' on the architecture drawings.
