It depends on the application, but for Single-Phase dwelling service and feeders
3 AWG copper is good for 110 amps. That really equates to 100 amps since you can't get a 110 amp circuit breaker.

What size wire do you need for 15 amps?
AWG 10.
How many amps will taken in sq mm copper wire?
10 amps
What size of wire cu do you need for 50 amps?
6 AWG.
How many amps can a 2.5 sq mm wire conduct?
It will taken 8 amps <<>> The conversion of 2.5 sq mm wire to AWG is equal to a #12 wire. The ampacity of a #12 copper wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is 20 amps.
What gauge wire is needed for 200 feet with 110 volts and 50 amps?
6 AWG will handle 50 amps with a voltage drop of about 4 volts. If you go to 4 AWG and limit to 50 amps your voltage drop will be 2.5 volts.
What type of wire gauge should be used for a 20-amperes circuit?
Yes, 12 AWG is good for 25 Amps if copper wire.If aluminum wire, then good for 20 Amps.
What size wire do you need for 15 amps?
AWG 10.
How many amps is a 14 AWG of 105 degree C wire rated for?
14 AWG of 105 degree Celsius copper wire is rated for twenty-five amps.
How many amps is 26 awg wire rated for?
Copper wire current ratings assume 10 amps per mm2 for currents up to a few amps. 26 AWG wire has a cross sectional area of 0.13 mm2 so this logic says 1.3 amps.
What size wire and breaker do you need for a 5000 watt garage heater?
Look on the heater and see what amps it is pulling. That will determine the wire size and breaker size. It must be on a dedicated circuit. 15 amps = AWG # 14 wire with 15 amp breaker 20 amps = AWG # 12 wire with 20 amp breaker 30 amps = AWG # 10 wire with 30 amp breaker 40 amps = AWG # 8 wire with 40 amp breaker
Can you use 4 AWG wire with a 6 AWG ground wire to a sub box 100 feet away?
Yes you can. You did not say how many amps were required.
How many amps service does 12 gauge yellow wire hold?
The normal current capacity of 12 AWG copper wire is 20 amps.
How many amps will taken in sq mm copper wire?
10 amps
What size feeder wire for 100 amps?
Service wire for 100 amps requires AWG #3 copper.
What size of wire cu do you need for 50 amps?
6 AWG.
What size of wire you need for a 42 amps heater?
8 AWG.
How many amps will 10 wire hold?
10 awg wire can have a breaker size of 30amps. It can actually carry more but as for codes the wire is usually allowed to carry 80% of its max capability which puts the breaker at a max size of 30 amps.
