depends on its use. If its for residential service its good for 125 amps
In commercial and industrial installations it's a bit more complicated but you end up at the same 125 amps.
10 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.
5000 watts
30 amps is how much a 10-2 wire will carry at 110 feet. 10 gauge wire is only good for thirty amps per the national electrical code. Using 80% of the breakers usage you will actually be getting only 24 amps.

That wire is only good for low voltage wiring such as a doorbell or a thermostat any more would cause a fire.
No, a 12/2 wire is typically rated for a maximum of 20 amps.
14 gauge wire is smaller and is only good for 15amps of load. 12 gauge wire is a little bigger and is good for 20 amps of load, that is best case. there are many other factors that apply such as length of wire run, how long the power is applied, how many conductors are parrellel to each other etc.
12-2 (#12-2 conductor) wire doesn't "pull" 20 amps. However, it's ampacity rating is that of 20 amps. #12 copper wire is rated for a total load of 20 amps. So, always use a 20 amp breaker with it.
CEC - #2 copper, RW90 insulation, 120 amps. #2 aluminium, RW90 insulation, 95 amps. he is not talking about Amplifiers. he is talking about amperes, the unit of measure that indicates how much electricity can flow through a wire. and it depends on the length of the wire, but 2 gauge wire will handle about 208 amps. depends on how big the amps are
The amp rating for 10-2 wire is typically around 30 amps.
The amp rating for 10/2 wire is typically around 30 amps.
