That wire is only good for low voltage wiring such as a doorbell or a thermostat any more would cause a fire.
A #10 copper wire in a NMD90 cable is rated at 30 amps.
55 amps on copper wire.
#14 copper wire is rated at 15 amps, # 12 copper is rated at 20. The maximum capacity of any wire is 80% so remember to derate your current by multiplying the rated current by .8
You are probably thinking about 1/0 wire (1 ought wire). In copper it is rated at 175 amps and in aluminum 125 amps.
The normal current capacity of 12 AWG copper wire is 20 amps.

You are probably thinking about 1/0 wire (1 ought wire). In copper it is rated at 175 amps and in aluminum 125 amps.
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.
The normal current capacity of 12 AWG copper wire is 20 amps.
Need to know the wire size.
Service wire for 100 amps requires AWG #3 copper.
Copper wires do not hold amps, they have a cross sectional area capacity to allow amperage to flow. In the electrical trade this is spoken of as "ampacity" of the wire. It is a combining of the two words amps and capacity. A # 2 copper wire with an insulation factor of 60, 75 or 90 degrees C is consecutively rated at 100, 115 and 120 amps.
14 AWG of 105 degree Celsius copper wire is rated for twenty-five amps.
A #8 copper wire with an insulation rating of 90 degrees C is rated at 45 amps.
