Assuming 120 VAC in a residence maximum watts = 15 x 120 = 1800 Watts. For a continuous load you can support 1440 watts which is 80& of maximum. You need 14 AWG gauge wire.

Wire is rated in ampacity, You can use only 80% of the rated ampacity. Voltage and amperage are inversely proportional. So at 120 volts alternating current you safely run 1800 watts ( I have added a small safety margin). At 240 volts you can run 3600 watts. I hope this has answered you question Ampsxvolts=watts watts/volts=amps
1hp = 745.7 watts

How many cartridge does a 12 gauge shotgun carry.
5000 watts

According to NEC, it's max rating in free air is 18 amps.
10 gauge wire will only run up to 30 amps
A 10 amp switch connected to a 240 volt circuit can carry up to 2400 watts (10 amps x 240 volts = 2400 watts). It's important to ensure that the switch is rated for the anticipated load to prevent overheating or failure.
the gauge of the wire determines how much amperage a wire can carry the insulation determines how much voltage the wire can handle
