Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.you need #6 gauge wire
<<>>
A #8 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 50 and 55 amps respectively. Motor load feeders have to be sized to 125% of the motors full load amperage. 50 x 125% = 62.5 amps.
A #6 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 65 and 70 amps respectively.

What is the 16 gauge amp rating?
That is 10 amp wire.
Can you wire a 30 amp generator to a 2 wire well pump?
Yes, a well pump can be wired to a generator but to find out how well it will operate the pump's voltage and full load amperage must be stated.
What is the amp rating of NM wire?
The ampacity or amp rating of all wire is rated by the size of the wire. NM (non-metallic sheathing) wire is no different. In household wiring 14 gauge wire must go on a 15 amp breaker/ 12 gauge goes on a 20 A and 10 gauge goes on a 30 Amp.

What gauge wire for a 60 amp circuit?
AWG #6 wire.
What is a wire gauge and what is it's use?
wire gauge is used to determine the size of the wire to be installed based on the amperage draw of whatever is being hooked up on the receiving end. ie 14 gauge is for a 15 amp circuit, 12 gauge is for a 20 amp circuit, 10 gauge 30 amp etc. to get specific amp draw ratings on a particular gauge of wire look at a current National Electric code book or ugly book.
What is amp rating for 16 gauge wire?
10
Gauge wire needed for 8 amp sump pump?
you will need wiring that is at least 10 amp rated wire or higher. If you really needed to ask you might want to call an electrician Electrician here, be the pump 120 volts or 240 volts a #14 wire will handle the situation. Longer runs of 75 feet you should go to a #12 wire to compensate for voltage drop. The pump should be on its own separate circuit with a 15 amp breaker. A two pole 15 amp breaker if the pump is 240 volts.
What gauge wire for 24 amp fuses?
AWG # 10
What is the amp rating of 4 gauge wire?
80 amps
