New 10 Awg Green Marine Wire 100Ft Tinned Copper Class K Stranded Compatible With Marine 30A Ac

UNIVERSAL MARINE WIRE — 10 AWG GREEN TINNED COPPER PRIMARY WIRE 100 FT SPOOL:

ABYC E-11 STANDARD — GREEN COLOR USE (BONDING / SAFETY GROUND):
Per ABYC E-11 marine electrical standards, GREEN color wire is designated for BONDING and SAFETY GROUND conductors. At 10 AWG (medium gauge), this green marine cable is the CORRECT SAFETY GROUND SIZE for 30A AC marine shore power systems — the most common AC configuration on pleasure boats. Also used for medium-size inverter grounds, medium engine bonding, and 30A AC distribution panel safety grounds.

30A AC SHORE POWER COMPLIANCE:
Per ABYC E-11/E-8 standards, AC safety ground (green) conductors must be sized to match the supply conductor ampacity. For 30A AC marine shore power systems (the most common pleasure boat configuration with the standard L5-30R inlet), 10 AWG green is the correct safety ground gauge. Using smaller gauge violates ABYC standards and may fail USCG and marine survey inspections.

GAUGE HIERARCHY FOR GREEN BONDING WIRE — WHEN TO USE 10 AWG:
• 14 AWG Green = Branch bonding (electronics chassis, small through-hulls)
• 12 AWG Green = Main bonding (smaller engines, fuel tanks)
• 10 AWG Green = MEDIUM bonding, 30A AC safety ground (this item)
• 8 AWG Green = Heavy main bonding, 50A AC safety ground, lightning
• 4 AWG / 2 AWG Green = 100A+ AC safety grounds, heavy lightning

COMMON 10 AWG MARINE MEDIUM BONDING / SAFETY GROUND APPLICATIONS:
• 30A AC Shore Power Safety Ground Conductor (Primary Use)

FITMENT NOTE:
Universal medium-gauge marine bonding cable — fits any marine application requiring 10 AWG green safety ground or bonding conductor. Per ABYC E-11/E-8, 10 AWG is the correct safety ground size for 30A AC marine shore power systems. For 50A AC systems use 8 AWG (COB-A2008T-03). For lighter branch bonding use 12 AWG or 14 AWG. Green wire is for bonding/safety ground only — NOT for current-carrying conductors.
