Color doesn't matter, keeping circuits trackable is. There are proprietary trends, but no standards that cross trade lines. High voltage ac electrical has code guidlines, but occasionally, even those are bent.
Many of our items aren't even made here. Europe and Asia, etc. have different trends/code in thier designs. You just can't count on colors 100%.
Red - often hot or + or switched, main bus
White- hot, neutral, switched hot (with red neg. but sometimes opposite.)
Black- hot, ground, or negative or main bus
Brown- sw hot, earth ground, ground, neg.
Green- earth ground, ground, neg. sw/hots.
Get it? 'Cause I never did I expected standards; red + black - yey, gimmie more... what do you mean sometimes? (try a pinball machine with only white wires on for fun )
Wire for the 100w now.. Or buy new wire again later. Heck, wire for a ZW if thats a possibility some day. Big wire is nothing but good for us for the most part anyhow. (some high frequency might suffer under too large or strand counts, not train concerns 99% of the time.)
Chart, measuring and simple math time.... you have the ruler.
The length of wire needed and max amps available at the supply determine gauge needed. Search online for an AWG wire gauge charts(heres a standard). say 8a to 15a(zw) If close, use the larger gauge wire. Too light a wire = voltage drop. The amps need gauge to keep the voltage from fading away at a distance. Stranded wire is also better than solid wire at pwr. delivery. Go up another gauge for solid wire (really should note on the chart if strd.or sol., when in doubt, go large.)
If you wire over max supply output, it will be less likely to overheat and melt insulation should something go horribly wrong. A fuse here allows you to reduce wire size without as much worry. Fat wire and fuses? I'll sleep with the layout on.
Transformer breakers only protect track/wires by coincidence. The design is ment for supply protection and additional fuses have always been recommended. If your supply puts out 8a, wire handles 10a, fuse at 9a to save the wire from ? cuts, crushes, whatever.
.further along, a splice/drop to a device draws 2a, new wire still handles 10a, leads to device are smaller, fuse again at 2a right at device leads ...next drop of the 10a line may differ.
