10-2 wire, which typically consists of two conductors and a ground, is rated for a maximum of 30 amps for short runs (like those in residential circuits). However, for longer distances, it’s generally safer to limit the current to about 20 amps to account for voltage drop and ensure safety. Always refer to local electrical codes and guidelines, as they may have specific recommendations or requirements.
