There are multiple fuses in your car protecting various loads. Wire gauge depends on load. The gauge or wire for the battery might be 8 AWG to handle high cranking currents for starter motor. 14 AWG wire might be employed for loads requiring 15 amps or less and so forth.

Can you replace a 13 amp 125 volt appliance cord with a 15 amp 125 volt cord?
Yes, no problem at all going to a larger ampacity of wire. Larger size wire yes, smaller size wire no.
What size wire in a 40 amp 12 volt circuit?
Use 8 gauge wire.
How do you choose the right fuse for the job?
The correct size fuse needed is based on the size wire used in the circuit. The size wire needed is based on the load that will be applied to the circuit. 1. AWG 14/2 wire = 15 amp fuse 2. AWG 12/2 wire = 20 amp fuse 3. AWG 10/2 wire = 30 amp fuse 4. AWG 8/2 wire = 40 amp fuse
How many watts is a 240 volt 20 amp fuse rated for with 12 gauge wire?
4800
Can a 250 volt fuse be used in a 240 volt air conditioner unit and how are they properly installed?
It is generally safe to use a 250 volt fuse in a 240 volt air conditioner unit. To properly install the fuse, make sure the power to the unit is turned off, remove the old fuse, replace it with the new one of the same size and rating, and then turn the power back on. Verify that the unit is functioning properly before regular use.
What size wire for an 80 amp 220 volt circuit?
# 3 gauge
What is the wire size for 208 volt?
As with any electrical installation, the wire size used depends on the expected maximum current the wire will carry. That cannot be determined by voltage alone.
What wire size is needed for 15 volt circuit?
The wire size depends on how much current it will conduct.
Size fuse for 12 AWG wire?
Use a 20 amp fuse or breaker.
What wire size needed for 120 volt 3000 watt load?
AWG # 10 wire on 30 amp circuit.
What size wire needed for 6amps fuse?
AWG 16
What size wire is required for 277 volt fluorescent lighting?
Wire size is governed by amperage not voltage. Voltage is an insulation factor when talking about wire. Add up the amperage of fixtures you want in the circuit. Once that is found then the size of the wire can be calculated.
