I've got a GC Xtreme 250 psi solenoid I will be using on an air horn setup. I bought the solenoid on ebay and it didn't come with any instuctions and the seller doesn't have the answer to my question. I opened the top of the solenoid where I would attach the wires and found markings that said 10A/380V. My question is, whats a good gauged wire to carry 10 amps and 380volts? The connectors are rather small, so I'm guessing somewhere around a 16 guage, but I'm not sure. Thanks
 
There are some wire guage ratings out there, check google. 480V @ 10A, make sure you get that right or it will hurt. Also have in mind how long of a wire you need.
