Re: Toasty Wire

In AC wiring a 10 gauge copper wire is rated for 30 amps.  I agree with Theo 
that this motor should never draw anywhere near that amount.  I've had motors 
blow fuses upon start-up of the motor when the motor themselves were worn and 
binding up.  One step might be to see just how much the motor is 
drawing...it's amperage might be printed on the motor somewhere.
