They look to be around #12 or #14, but I've never seriously given it much thought.

What's the purpose of the question?

Thanks John. The cooper windings go to the old circuit breaker. I am replacing the old circuit breaker and install a new one. The lead placement on the old circuit breaker and the new are different and in different places. I want to use a electrical wire nut tie the two winding and the wire together and run the wire to one of the leads on the circuit breaker.

For a short run, #14 will be more than sufficient, no worries.
