14 AWG wire normally supplies 15 amps. Watts = Volts x Amps x Power Factor. Power Factor has a maximum value of one. If you have a 120 volt circuit that would be 15 x 120 = 1800 watts or 1.8 KW. For a 240 volt circuit 3.6 KW.

How many watts can run through 12-3 wire?
Wire is rated in ampacity, You can use only 80% of the rated ampacity. Voltage and amperage are inversely proportional. So at 120 volts alternating current you safely run 1800 watts ( I have added a small safety margin). At 240 volts you can run 3600 watts. I hope this has answered you question Ampsxvolts=watts watts/volts=amps
Can 3.55 watt oven run on 20amp hard wire?
To answer this question the voltage of the oven must be stated. Also double check on the wattage of the oven 3.55 watts seems low. Maybe it should be 3.55 kWs. Amps = Watts/Volts.
Can you use 10 AWG wire to run 6000 watts of light drawing 30 amps?
I'm assuming the electrical system is single phase, such as a home. If not, you need to hire someone to do the work for you. First, 6000 watts at 120v is 50 amps, so if your load is truly 6000 watts, 30 amps isn't enough. If your 6000 watts is 240v, which would draw 25 amps, then 30 amps is plenty. Ten gauge wire may not be placed an a breaker or fuse larger than 30 amps.
What gauge wire is required to run a 220 volt dryer circuit?
Wire size is based on the amperage the device draws. The wattage of the unit has to be included in the equation. Amps = Watts/Volts. Most homes in North America today are roughed in with a two conductor #10 cable. This size wire will allow a 30 amps. The electrical code allows this conductor to be only loaded up to 80% capacity so useful amperage is 30 x 80% = 24 amps. Watts = Amps x volts = 24 x 240 = 5760 watts. If your dryer's wattage is no larger that this a #10 conductor will be fine. If it is higher go to the next size wire which is a #8 rated at 40 amps. Same de rate has to be applied.

How many watts can run through 6 A wire?
W = A x V. Watts = Amps x Volts. There is not a voltage stated to multiply the 6 amps with so an answer can not be given.
