The amp rating for 12-volt 20-gauge wire typically ranges from 3 to 5 amps for power transmission, depending on the length of the wire and the insulation type. For longer runs, it's advisable to use a lower amp rating to prevent voltage drop and overheating. Always consider the specific application and environment when determining the appropriate amp rating. For safety, consult the National Electrical Code (NEC) or manufacturer guidelines.
What else can I help you with?
How many watts is a 240 volt 20 amp fuse rated for with 12 gauge wire?
4800
Can you splice 18 gauge wire and 12 gauge?
Try it see what happens... >:l Can you splice them? Yes. Should you splice them? No. It really all depends on what your over current protection is. If your #12 wire is on a 20 amp breaker, your #18 wire can melt and cause a fire without tripping the breaker. I do not know what is the amp rating of 18 gauge wire. -- Sparkfighter
How do you add a 240 volt receptacle to 100 amp supply?
The 240 volt receptacle has to have an amperage rating. It is this rating that governs the wire size and breaker size to feed the circuit. The new two pole breaker will be inserted in the 100 amp distribution if space is available and connected to the new wiring that terminates at the new receptacle.
Is it safe to use 10 gauge wire on a 20 amp breaker for a microwave?
No, 10 gauge wire requires the use of a 30 amp breaker. A 20 amp breaker is only used on 12 gauge wire.
What is the proper size wire cord for a 12 amp vacuum sweeper 120 volt?
16 gauge is rated at 13 amps, but I would use 14 gauge which is rated at 15 amps just to be safe.

What is the recommended amp rating for 18 gauge wire?
The recommended amp rating for 18 gauge wire is around 16 amps.
What is the amp rating of NM wire?
The ampacity or amp rating of all wire is rated by the size of the wire. NM (non-metallic sheathing) wire is no different. In household wiring 14 gauge wire must go on a 15 amp breaker/ 12 gauge goes on a 20 A and 10 gauge goes on a 30 Amp.
What is amp rating for 16 gauge wire?
10
