A 14/3 GA Romex type wire is rated at 15 Amps, and by regulation can only be used in home applications.
You can use 14/3 for a 240 V application, in which case it would be capable of carrying 3600 Watts.
If you use the wire with 120 volts, it can only handle 1800 watts.
If you are not experienced with electrical wiring, contact a licensed electrician to assist you with your needs.
Two thoughts here, one the fixture should be rated at the maximum wattage allowed for the socket the bulb screws into. A label should state "maximum wattage allowed". To do a calculation Watts = Amps x Volts. Amps = Watts/Volts. 5 x 60 watts = 300 watts. 300/120 = 2.5 amps. The electrical code only rates down to #14 wire which is rated at 15 amps. From here you have to make the decision.
#14 copper wire is rated for 15 amps.
The maximum amperage that can be applied to a #14 wire is 15 amps. The 600 volts is just an insulation rating. Check the nameplate on the dryer to see what the amperage and voltage the manufacturer recommends. If the nameplate just states a wattage use the following formula to find the amperage. Amps = Watts/ Volts.
The most common sizes inside the house are: #14 for lighting #12 for receptacles #8 for range The most common for the service is a 4/0 aluminum (200 amp service) Pinky
The lower gauge number is always a thicker wire which can carry more current.

Assuming 120 VAC in a residence maximum watts = 15 x 120 = 1800 Watts. For a continuous load you can support 1440 watts which is 80& of maximum. You need 14 AWG gauge wire.
14 AWG wire normally supplies 15 amps. Watts = Volts x Amps x Power Factor. Power Factor has a maximum value of one. If you have a 120 volt circuit that would be 15 x 120 = 1800 watts or 1.8 KW. For a 240 volt circuit 3.6 KW.

#14 copper wire is rated for 15 amps.
Yes, in home wiring as long as it is protected by a 15 amp breaker. Remember this circuit will only handle 1800 watts and cannot be loaded to any more than 1440 watts. So if each light is 75 watts then the maximum you can install is 19.

The maximum amperage that can be applied to a #14 wire is 15 amps. The 600 volts is just an insulation rating. Check the nameplate on the dryer to see what the amperage and voltage the manufacturer recommends. If the nameplate just states a wattage use the following formula to find the amperage. Amps = Watts/ Volts.
The maximum is 14 clubs, all pros usually carry 14.
Wire guage is used as a measurement for the ampacity of the wire. # 14 wire is allowed 15 amp to be applied to it. Voltage is governed by the insulation factor of the wire. The three standard insulations are for 300V, 600V and 1000 volts.
To answer this question a voltage and amperage must be stated. W = Amps x Volts.
