[ausev] sizing wires based on current

[MLAB]

I assume that one should choose the thickness of one's wires based off 
of the amount of current going through them, and that voltage does not 
make as much difference.

Is there any rule of thumb suggesting what gauge of wire should be used 
for some expected amp draw?  For example, if I am expecting draws up to 
40A, what gauge of wire is recommended?
