Maximum amps 6 gage copper wire?
A #6 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C both have an amp rating of 65 amps. If the #6 conductor is connected to a breaker having a 90 degree C rating then the conductor can carry an amperage of 75 amps
What gage wire do you need to run for 200 amp sub panel 300 ft from electrical panel?
Using AWG # 3/0 copper wire you will have a voltage drop of around 3.8% at 68 degrees Fahrenheit. This should be acceptable to your local inspector but you may want to call them and make sure.
What size breaker should be used with ceiling fans?
Use 15 amp breaker with 14 gage wire or 20 amp breaker with 12 gage wire. Either way will work just fine.
What gage wire is needed for a 35 amp ac?
Use 8 gauge wire.
What wire gage for 130' supply 100 amp service?
I would run 1/0 gauge.
What is amperage limit of 12 gage solid copper wire?
20 Amp

A #6 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C both have an amp rating of 65 amps. If the #6 conductor is connected to a breaker having a 90 degree C rating then the conductor can carry an amperage of 75 amps
What is the current carrying capacity of a 10 gage THHN copper conductor?
30 amps
How many amps does 4 use wire carry?
What is 4 use wire? You mean 4 conductor? In any case, it depends on the wire gage and whether it is stranded or solid conductor. Look on the side of the wire. There will likely be something printed or empossed on the insulation like the following: 4-18 which would mean 4 conductor, 18 gage wire. Single conductor wires will have the AWG directly on them such as: 12AWG or 10AWG as used in homes. Find out the gage and reply. Then I can tell you the amperage limit for the wire. Out of curiosity, .... why do you want to know? Are you adding more load to the wire? If so, you should also consider the fuse that protects the wiring. It's rating will be lower than that of the wire so it fails first.
How is copper losses reduced in transformers?
how to reduce copper losses in a transformer Copper losses are due to the resistance of the copper (or aluminum) windings. To reduce copper losses the transformer would have to be rewound with heavier gage wire.
Can the wrong gage cable cause problems with starting engine?
yes- If cable is too light it may overheat and not carry the amperage required to operate the starter

solid rib on barrel
What is stronger a 10 Gage or a 12 Gage?
12 gage
What is the diameter of 12 gage copper wire?
12 gauge equals 0.0808 inches or 2.0525 millimetres, if using the American wire gauge (AWG) scale.
What is thicker 22 gage or 19 gage?
19 gage is thicker n 22 gage is thinner.
