What else can I help you with?
What gauge wire would you need to carry 100 amps at 12 volts dc?
A #3 copper wire with an insulation factor 90 degree C is rated at 105 amps.
How many amps 8 gauge wire?
A #8 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 60 degrees C is rated at 40 amps, insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 45 amps.If the breakers rating is 90 degrees C then the amperage can be boosted for 60 degree wire to 40 amps, 75 degree C wire to 50 amps and 90 degree C wire to55 amps.
How many amps for 14 wire how many amps for 12 wire?
A 14-gauge wire can typically carry up to 15 amps of current, while a 12-gauge wire can handle up to 20 amps. It's important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines and electrical codes when determining the maximum current for a specific wire size.
How many amps can a 8 wire handle?
The amps on any wire is determined by the voltage and the load that is being served. If you are asking what is the maximum current allowed on a #8 AWG, that would be 40 amps for a 60 degree Celsius rated wire, 50 amps for a 75 degree Celsius rated wire and 55 amps for a 95 degree Celsius rated wire.
What gauge wire for 240 volt at 40 amps?
The ampacity of a # 10 copper wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is 30 amps. All wire voltage ratings usually drop into two categories 300 volts and 600 volts. Home wiring drops into the 300 volt range and commercial, industrial, drops into the 600 volt range.
How many amps will a 2 0 wire carry?
If you mean 2/0 copper wire it is rated 175 amps. # 2 wire is 115 amps. If you are referring to 2.0 metric it is rated 15 amps.
How many amps is number 8 3 wire rated for?
60 amps
What size service entrance conductors do you use for a 200amp service?
3/0 copper wire with 90 degree insulation is rated at 210 amps. 75 degree insulation is rated at 200 amps.
What gauge wire would you need to carry 100 amps at 12 volts dc?
A #3 copper wire with an insulation factor 90 degree C is rated at 105 amps.
How many amps 8 gauge wire?
A #8 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 60 degrees C is rated at 40 amps, insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 45 amps.If the breakers rating is 90 degrees C then the amperage can be boosted for 60 degree wire to 40 amps, 75 degree C wire to 50 amps and 90 degree C wire to55 amps.
Can a 14 AWG solid copper wire that's 15 feet long carry a load of 40 amps?
No, a #14 conductor is only rated for 15 amps. If the wire insulation is rated for 90 degrees C and is connected to a 90 degree rated circuit breaker the ampacity can be raised to 25 amps.
What size wire is rated for 585 amps?
The Canadian Electrical Code requires a 1000MCM copper wire with a insulation factor of 90 degree C is rated at 585 amps. Quite a coincidence. The National Electrical Code requires a 900 kcmil copper conductor with an insulation rated for 90 degrees C for 585 amps..
How many amps for 14 wire how many amps for 12 wire?
A 14-gauge wire can typically carry up to 15 amps of current, while a 12-gauge wire can handle up to 20 amps. It's important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines and electrical codes when determining the maximum current for a specific wire size.
How many amps can a 8 wire handle?

What gauge wire for 240 volt at 40 amps?
The ampacity of a # 10 copper wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is 30 amps. All wire voltage ratings usually drop into two categories 300 volts and 600 volts. Home wiring drops into the 300 volt range and commercial, industrial, drops into the 600 volt range.
What is amp rating for 8 to 14 gauge aluminum wiring?
There is no rating for #14 wire in the electrical code book. This is because #12 aluminium wire is rated at 20 amps and that is the minimum of home wiring circuit wiring in aluminium. It is not, if at all, used anymore. #10 at 75 or 90 degree C is rated both at 30 amps. #8 at 75 or 90 degree C is rated both at 45 amps.
What size wire should you use for a 20 amp breaker?
For a 20 amp breaker, you should use a wire size of 12 AWG for standard residential wiring. This wire size can safely handle the current load without overheating. Make sure to always consult local electrical codes and regulations for specific requirements.
