Amps is short for amperes, a measure of current in electricity. It is equivalent to one coulomb (a unit of charge) per second and is named after André-Marie Ampère.
AnswerAn 'amp' is a widely-used, but incorrect, symbol for the 'ampere', the SI unit of measurement for electric current. The correct symbol is an upper-case 'A'.
The ampere is one of seven SI Base Units, and is defined in terms of the force between two, parallel, current-carrying conductors due to the magnetic fields set up around those conductors.

How do you convert micro amps to amps?
To convert microamps to amps, you need to divide the value in microamps by 1,000,000. This is because one microamp is equal to one millionth of an amp. So, if you have a current of 500 μA (microamps), you would divide 500 by 1,000,000 to get 0.0005 amps.

What size of copper wire can carry 30 amps?
Couple of things wrong here. 30 isn't a wire size. If you mean a wire that can carry 30 amps that would be # 10. Now it depends on how many # 10 wires you want to put into a conduit that governs the size of the conduit.
