A 250 MCM copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 255 and 290 amps respectively
The ampere rating of wire would depend on the diameter, length and usage of wire for specific purpose. Without additional input to the question. it will be hard to give an accurate answer.
For a 16-gauge wire at 120 volts, the ampere rating would typically be around 10-12 amps. However, it's important to consult the specific standards and guidelines provided by regulatory bodies like the National Electrical Code (NEC) to ensure safe and appropriate usage of the wire.
amperes or A.
The ampacity of an 8 gauge wire at 240 volts would depend on the specific type of wire and the installation conditions. Generally, an 8 gauge wire can safely carry around 40-50 amps of current. It is important to consult the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local regulations for precise guidance.
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.
The larger in diameter the wire is, the larger the current carrying capacity the wire has.

A #4 aluminium wire with an insulation factor of 75 and 90 degrees C is rated at 100 and 105 amps respectively.
Ampere (A) is the unit of measurement that describes the rate that electricity flows through a wire.
How many peak amps does it use.

The Inverter is a sort of Backwards device.Let's say if you wire up a button to an Inverter and the Inverter is wired up to a Wiring door. When the Button is turned off, the door will open. When the button is turned on, the door will close.
You put it togather. If the lighter outlet is rated at 120 watts [that's 10 amps at 12 volts] maximum, then that means that the receptacle, wiring to it, and the fuse cannot carry a 300 watt [25 amps at 12 volts] load, AND SIMPLY PLUGGING IT IN, as suggested in answer 1 should result in blowing the fuse for that circuit. Do NOT let anyone talk you into replacing the 10A fuse with a 25A fuse, as that is a guarantee for burning up your wiring, and possibly your car. However, you do not mention whether the 300 watt rating for the inverter is the OUTPUT or INPUT RATING. IF, and ONLY IF, when you check the INPUT wattage rating [should be on a label or stamped into the outer cover of the inverter], if it indicates an INPUT rating of 120 watts [10 amps at 12 volts] or less, then you can just "plug it in." If the inverter input current rating exceeds 10 amps at 12 volts, then it will not work. To provide adequate power for your inverter, it would be necessary to add-on a new circuit from the battery, or the main fuse panel, with properly sized wire[s] for the load, a proprly sized fuse to protect the wire[s], and a socket also properly rated for the electrical load.j3h.

The amp rating for 10 wire is typically around 30 amps.
