12
What is ampere rating for 12 gauge wire?
20 amps for 12 gauge wire
What size wire for 240 volt 20 amp?
12 gauge wire is sufficient. Any larger is fine, but superfluous.
Which is thicker 20 or 26 gauge wire?
As the AWG wire numbers get smaller the wire size gets larger so a #20 wire is larger that a #26 wire 26
Which is thicker 12 gauge or 20 gauge?
12 gauge is thicker than 20 gauge. The lower the gauge, the thicker the sheet metal or wire.

What type of wire gauge should be used for a 20-amperes circuit?
12 American Wire Gauge (AWG). 12 AWG.
What size gauge wire is required on a 20 amp circuit?
12 gauge.
What is the amperage rating of 12 gauge wire?
For your typical residential application American Wire Gauge 12, or 12 AWG is rated for 20 amps.
Can you join a 12 gauge wire to a 10 gauge wire?
Yes but there are two stipulations, one that the join or splice must be made in a junction box that is accessible and has a removable cover and the second stipulation is that the breaker that is supplying the power can not be larger that the smallest conductor. In this case no breaker larger that a 20 amp breaker as #12 wire is only rated at 20 amps..
