Best Answer

A #6 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C both have an amp rating of 65 amps. If the #6 conductor is connected to a breaker having a 90 degree C rating then the conductor can carry an amperage of 75 amps

Ampacity of 16 awg copper wire?

I'm not sure if I understand your question but if you are asking if the wire number is the maximum amperage (current) it can hold the answer is NO. For example #8 copper wire will allow much more current (before melting) then #12 copper wire. Generally the higher the wire number the less amps it can hold.
