Obviously I didn't, nor do I have any experience with light controllers. So look, if I do a 20amp breaker what wire size should I use? For the romex . Thanks for helping meThe problem is that the there are numerous components in the CAP units rated for 15a at best, with some cheap offshore shit that will not stand up to it's nominal rating. The discolored wires in the other fellows controller are NOT from loose connections, but from wire that is too small for the load. If you are going to use that thing, I would feed it with a 15 or 20a breaker, change the receptacles out to some commercial or specification grade ones, and change any wires out that are smaller than #12 if you feed it with a 15a or 20a breaker, or #10 wire if you feed it with a 30 amp. Be aware that the receptacles are completely inadequate for a 30a feed, as is anything that will plug into them.
You do know that CAP is bankrupt & out of business, don't you?
