I looked all up and down on this wire to figure out what AWG it is. It is a feeder from a 70 amp breaker then 4 20 amp chargers are tapped from it in a JB.

They want to add another charger. Trying to get a price up.
Feels like #2. Could be #3.

That pretty much summed up your intelligence.:laughing:

 

[aftershockews]

All kidding aside. The lettering is legible but there was nowhere on this wire that showed the AWG except this picture I posted. But 3/19 is not an AWG, atleast not what I am familiar with.

#2 may be good for what I am adding. I am just curious.

Probably anywhere they sell wire. I'm sure Home Depot would probably have them

There are currently 4 chargers. 480/v at 11.6 amps. I am needing to add 1 at 480/v 13 amps. Also adding 5 receptacle outlets for pallet jack charging. I could not find an amp reading for these. It seems they are wired on 2 120/v circuits on the opposite side of this warehouse.

Custom cable, probably high flex if it has that much stranding.
