	We don't show specs for 8ga or larger because they're
	usually stranded.

	Mils are .001".  "open air A" is a continuous rating for
	a single conductor with insulation in open air.  "cable amp"
	is for in multiple conductor cables.  Disregard the amperage
	ratings for household use.

	To calculate voltage drop, plug in the values:
		
		V = DIR/1000'
	
	Where I is the amperage, R is from the ohms/1000' column
	above, and D is the total distance the current travels (don't
	forget to add the length of the neutral and hot together - ie:
	usually double cable length).  Design rules in the CEC call
	for a maximum voltage drop of 6% (7V on 120V circuit)
