It is a North American electrical term. It is a combination the words amp and capacity rolled into one word "ampacity". When talking about how much amperage a wire can legally draw, it is referred to as the wire's "ampacity".
Conductors must have an ampacity not less than the maximum load that they are supplying.
Conductors must have an ampacity not less than the maximum load that they are supplying.
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.
