Conductor size is based upon the amount of current you want to carry. Use Copper with household fittings. 14 AWG household stuff is rated at 20 Amps continuous. Also household wiring is rated at 600V. The best way to to start, is to calculate how much current you need. I just use a table. Form follows function
