How much power does a load drawing 15A with 120V across it consume?
The formula you are looking for is W = A x V.
Will 16gauge wire handle a 1500watt 120 volt heater?
I = W/E. Current is equal to Watts divided by Volts. 1500/120 = 13 amps. A #14 is rated at 15 amps. A conductor can only be loaded to 80% for a continuous load so 80% of 15 equals 12 amps. Too small for the 1500 watt load. A #12 conductor is rated at 20 amps times 80% equals 16 amps for a continuous load. To answer your question, no, a #16 conductor will not handle a 1500 watt load.
What size circuit breaker should be used on 125 feet of 4 AWG power feed?
The circuit breaker is used to protect the conductor that is connected to it from an overload condition. On a motor load the breaker has to be sized 250% of the motors full load amperage. Some circuits can be only loaded to 80% capacity and this is governed by the sizing of the breaker. Without knowing what the load amperage is, this question can not be answered.
Can you use aluminum service cable to feed a sub panel?
Yes, as long as it has the necessary ampacity for the load and is properly fastened at each terminal. For example, we have a 4/0 aluminum cable feeding our 200 A subpanel 120 feet away.
