What is the 16 gauge amp rating?
That is 10 amp wire.
What is ampere rating of 16 gauge wire at 120 volts?
600 watts
Can you splice a small length of 16 gauge wire to 18 gauge wire for a repair?
Yes, you splice a small length of 16 gauge wire to 18 gauge wire for a repair.
How many amps will 16 gauge stranded auto wire handle?
According to NEC, it's max rating in free air is 18 amps.
What gauge of wire for 550V 5.1 amp 3 phase motor?
The only thing you need to know in order to size your wire is the "5.1 amp" amount.Figure on the motor drawing double on startup, so say, 10 amps, or so.18 gauge wire would pack your 5.1 amps just fine, but it is a little flimsy . . . I would use 16 gauge, instead.Of course, the insulation on the wire you select should be rated for 600 volts or more.

What is ampere rating of 16 gauge wire at 120 volts?
600 watts
How many amps is a 16 gauge wire 12 volts rated for?
12 ga, 20 amp. 14 ga, 15 amp. 16 ga, 10 amp.
What is the diameter of 16 gauge wire?
16-gauge wire has a diameter of 0.05082 inches.
Can you splice a small length of 16 gauge wire to 18 gauge wire for a repair?
Yes, you splice a small length of 16 gauge wire to 18 gauge wire for a repair.
What is the maximum current recommended for 30 gauge copper wire?
Sorry, there is no such wire size as "30 gauge" in the AWG (American Wire Gauge) system. For the ampacity rating of all standard conductor sizes, go to Table 310-16 of the National Electric Code. If you mean what wire size will carry 30 amps then a #10 copper wire insulation rating of 90 degree C is rated at 30 amps.
Which gauge wire is a 12v?
The gauge of wire that is 12 volt is 18, 14, and 16.
How many amps will 16 gauge stranded auto wire handle?
According to NEC, it's max rating in free air is 18 amps.

What is a common fuse rating?
15 and 20 amps for receptacles and lights, and anywhere from 20 to 60 amps for dedicated loads such as water heaters and air conditioning. The fuse size MUST be matched to the load and wire size, you cannot just arbitrarily pick one!
What is the proper size wire cord for a 12 amp vacuum sweeper 120 volt?
16 gauge is rated at 13 amps, but I would use 14 gauge which is rated at 15 amps just to be safe.
What will happen if a wire that is plugged in heats up?
its casing will dry out, crack and catch fire, or it will crack off and cause arking, which can cause a fire... ultimately, check the gauge size of the circuit and make sure it corresponds to the proper amperage of breaker, if this is all good, you need a bigger cord(the gauge size must be sufficient for the intended tool/device.. a drill that has a 16 amp rating needs a 12 gauge cord whereas a 12 amp drill needs only a 14 gauge cord.
