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.

What is use 2 in copper wire?

Use 2 in copper wire refers to the American Wire Gauge (AWG) standard for copper wire used in electrical applications. AWG 2 copper wire has a diameter of 0.2576 inches and is commonly used for high current applications such as industrial machinery or power distribution systems. It can carry a maximum current of approximately 190 amps.


Can i use aluminum wire from service panel to hot tub sub panel?

Aluminium wire has produced problems due to unequal expansion/contraction at the brass or copper terminals and long-term surface oxidation. For that reason copper is recommended and there is usually no good reason not to use copper (of the correct gauge for the current).


What wire gauge should be used for 9 amp maximum?

#14 copper wire is rated for 15 amps.


What can you use 10 gauge wire for?

ten gauge wire is used for high current circuits. in home wiring, 12 gauge wire is normally used. 12 gauge wire can carry a maximum of 20 amps. 10 gauge wire on the other hand, is larger and can carry more current. the maximum current capacity of a 10 gauge wire is around 30 amps. one would use this for a stove, hvac or other power hungry device's.

What size main breaker do you need to run 10 gauge wire?

The size of the main breaker depends on the maximum current rating of the 10 gauge wire and the load it will be powering. Typically, a 10 gauge wire is rated for a maximum current of 30 amps. Therefore, a 30 amp main breaker would be suitable for running 10 gauge wire. However, it is important to consult local electrical codes and consider the specific load requirements before making a final determination.

What type wire is best for automotve DC current?

Copper or aluminum AWG. As for gauge and such, it depends on how much amperage you have running through it, and the length of wire.
