A #10 copper wire with an insulation factor of 90 degree C is rated at 30 amps. Code states that conductors can only be continuously loaded to 80%. 30 x .8 = 24 amps
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.

A #12 copper wire with an insulation rating of 60, 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 20 amps. This holds true whether it is solid or stranded.
A 16-gauge wire typically has an amp rating of around 10-15 amps, depending on the type of insulation and wire composition. It is important to consult the manufacturer's specifications or a professional electrician to ensure safe and proper usage.
The amperage rating of any wire or conductor is determined by its size or gauge. It has nothing to do with whether it is a two, three or four conductor wire. For example, in basic residential wiring, a 14 gauge wire is rated at 15 amps, a 12 gauge wire is rated at 20 amps, a # 10 is rated for 30A and so forth.
The amp rating for 18 gauge wire is typically around 16 amps.
The amp rating for an 18 gauge wire is typically around 16 amps.
The amp rating for 14 gauge wire is typically around 15 to 20 amps.
The amp rating for a 4 gauge wire is typically around 100-150 amps.
The amp rating for a 3 gauge wire is typically around 85-100 amps.
The recommended amp rating for 18 gauge wire is around 16 amps.
