RE: Can I suggest you try replacing the 6g Cu wire with 24g Cu wire ...

It should be possible to calculate wire size. Measure length of 1 run of wire. Multiply by number of turns. Measure resistance. consult chart and do math. You should be able to by a good estimate of length and resistance, come up with wire size, at least on the driver itself. As for the REST in the panel? Well, that's probably no better than those steel jumpers (still can't get over STEEL) I removed the other day.

Just an example from the AWG Aluminum chart.
24# is 20.1 mils diameter. 42.1 ohms/1000 feet and has a fusing of 21.6 amps. I'm guessing this is too large a wire. To get the panels about 4 ohm, DCR, you'd need about 100 feet.....Too much, I think.....
But that's the way I'd try to get an idea. Work backwards from the number of loops and length.
28 or 30 would be a reasonable place to start, as you suggest.....But than, people are always looking for 100 amp amps......I don't get it.
Too much is never enough
