What is the 16 gauge amp rating?
That is 10 amp wire.
What is amp rating for 16 gauge wire?
10
What is the amp rating of NM wire?
The ampacity or amp rating of all wire is rated by the size of the wire. NM (non-metallic sheathing) wire is no different. In household wiring 14 gauge wire must go on a 15 amp breaker/ 12 gauge goes on a 20 A and 10 gauge goes on a 30 Amp.
What is the amp capability of 12 gauge solid wire?
A #12 copper wire with an insulation rating of 60, 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 20 amps. This holds true whether it is solid or stranded.
What is the amp capability of 600 volt wire?
The current (amp) capability is determined by the wire size in gauge, rather than the voltage rating stamped on the insulation. The most basic rating is 20 Amps for 12 gauge and 15 Amps for 14 gauge wire; however, it can get more complex than that for long runs of wire or for wires run through conduit with other wires. Hire an electrician if this sounds bewildering.

What is the amp rating for 14 gauge wire 100 ft .?
Under normal household conditions it is 15 amps.
What is the amp capability of 600 volt wire?
The current (amp) capability is determined by the wire size in gauge, rather than the voltage rating stamped on the insulation. The most basic rating is 20 Amps for 12 gauge and 15 Amps for 14 gauge wire; however, it can get more complex than that for long runs of wire or for wires run through conduit with other wires. Hire an electrician if this sounds bewildering.
What is the amp rating for a 3 wire?
The amperage rating of any wire or conductor is determined by its size or gauge. It has nothing to do with whether it is a two, three or four conductor wire. For example, in basic residential wiring, a 14 gauge wire is rated at 15 amps, a 12 gauge wire is rated at 20 amps, a # 10 is rated for 30A and so forth.
What size gauge wire for 4000w amp?
on a 4000 watt amp the best gauge wire woul be between 2 and 0
Can you splice 18 gauge wire and 12 gauge?
Try it see what happens... >:l Can you splice them? Yes. Should you splice them? No. It really all depends on what your over current protection is. If your #12 wire is on a 20 amp breaker, your #18 wire can melt and cause a fire without tripping the breaker. I do not know what is the amp rating of 18 gauge wire. -- Sparkfighter
Is it safe to use 10 gauge wire on a 20 amp breaker for a microwave?
No, 10 gauge wire requires the use of a 30 amp breaker. A 20 amp breaker is only used on 12 gauge wire.
What gauge wire for a 60 amp circuit?
AWG #6 wire.
