What is the max safe amps for 14 gauge wire?
You should never try to use more than 15 amps through a 14 gauge wire.
How do you calculate a sises of cable used for an appliance?
Wire sizes and ampacity are regulated by code. # 14 wire 15 amps, #12 wire 20 amps, #10 wire 30 amps, #8 wire 40 amps, #6 wire 60 amps. These are the most common, a slight variation in amperage depending on the insulation factor.
What is the max amps for 0 gauge wire?
A 1/0 copper wire with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 150 and 155 amps respectively.
What is the max amp rating for 4-0 Copper Wire?
250 amps maximum.
What is the max amps on a 6 gauge copper wire?
Maximum amps for chassis wiring : 101 amps Maximum amps for power transmission : 37 amps Reference : http://www.powerstream.com/Wire_Size.htm
What is the max amps for 14 gauge wire at 12 volts?
15 amps
How can you calculate the current carrying capacity of 1 sq mm wire?
4amps can pass in 1sqmm of wire max it is universal. In the UK 1 sq. mm wire can take 10 amps max according to tables. Cables that become warm in use should be replaced by a thicker gauge.

What is the max amps for a 4 gauge wire can 4 gauge feed a 100A breaker box?
Yes, # 4 AWG copper and 100 amps is the max.
What is the max amp rating for 4-0 Copper Wire?
250 amps maximum.

What size wire is needed for carrying 100 amps under ground?
To calculate the wire size, a system voltage is needed.
How many amps will 16 gauge stranded auto wire handle?
According to NEC, it's max rating in free air is 18 amps.
How many amps will 10 wire hold?
10 awg wire can have a breaker size of 30amps. It can actually carry more but as for codes the wire is usually allowed to carry 80% of its max capability which puts the breaker at a max size of 30 amps.
What size of wire needed for 220volt?
Wire is not sized by voltage. It is sized by current measured in amps. Some common copper wire sizes and their current capacities are: 15 amps -- 14 gauge wire 20 amps -- 12 gauge wire 30 amps -- 10 gauge wire 40 amps -- 8 gauge wire
