I'm in the process of piecing together a RIMS setup. I ordered a MYPIN TA4 and a pt100. 40a SSR. My question is what gauge wiring and what sort of amperage should I be pulling with a 1500 watt element, I'm guessing around 12 amps at full power.
RIMS build.

#12 to be safe....

Consider also the wiring in your wall may also be a limiting factor if its already #14. You will be fine with just the element but you start adding inductive and resistive loads and you hit 15 amps fast.
