American Wire Guage. The smaller the number the larger the wire. As in an AWG 14/2 wire is much smaller than an AWG 10/2 wire.
American Wire Gauge ( AWG )
depends on the amperage. 14 AWG for 15 amps, 12 AWG for 20 amps, 8 AWG for 50 amps.
10 AWG can be solid. 8 AWG and larger should be stranded. 2008 NEC 310.3 2011 NEC 310.106(C)
No, code does not allow that.
I think you mean 16 AWG THWN. It's coating for PVC piping.
The amp rating for 18 AWG wire is typically around 16 amps.
AWG 16
The maximum amperage rating for an 18 AWG wire is typically around 16 amps.
The maximum current rating for an 18 AWG wire is typically around 16 amps.
An 18 AWG wire can typically handle a maximum current of around 16 amps.
A #16 AWG will work.
Smaller numbers mean thicker wires
