25 ampers
You should never try to use more than 15 amps through a 14 gauge wire.
According to NEC, it's max rating in free air is 18 amps.
A 1/0 copper wire with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 150 and 155 amps respectively.
Wire is not sized by voltage. It is sized by current measured in amps. Some common copper wire sizes and their current capacities are: 15 amps -- 14 gauge wire 20 amps -- 12 gauge wire 30 amps -- 10 gauge wire 40 amps -- 8 gauge wire
Maximum amps for chassis wiring : 101 amps Maximum amps for power transmission : 37 amps Reference : http://www.powerstream.com/Wire_Size.htm
50 amps
Yes, # 4 AWG copper and 100 amps is the max.
15 amps
if your load draws a max of 15 amps then you would use 14-16 gauge wire. the lower the gauge the more current that is allowed to pass. there are charts that show max current for diameter of wire

On a 230-volt circuit, the cable should be suitable for 13 amps. The size is 1.25 mm2 or 1.5 mm2.
