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
No, 10 gauge wire requires the use of a 30 amp breaker. A 20 amp breaker is only used on 12 gauge wire.
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.
16 gauge is rated at 13 amps, but I would use 14 gauge which is rated at 15 amps just to be safe.
The amp rating for 18 gauge wire is typically around 16 amps.
The amp rating for an 18 gauge wire is typically around 16 amps.
The amp rating for 14 gauge wire is typically around 15 to 20 amps.
The amp rating for a 4 gauge wire is typically around 100-150 amps.
The amp rating for a 3 gauge wire is typically around 85-100 amps.
The recommended amp rating for 18 gauge wire is around 16 amps.
The amp rating of NM (Non-Metallic) wire varies depending on the gauge of the wire. For example, a 14-gauge NM wire typically has an amp rating of 15 amps, while a 12-gauge NM wire has an amp rating of 20 amps. It is important to consult local building codes and regulations to determine the appropriate wire gauge and amp rating for specific applications.

The recommended wire size for a 30 amp 220 volt circuit is typically 10 gauge wire.
The appropriate wire size for a 220 volt 30 amp circuit is typically 10 gauge wire.
80 amps
Use 8 gauge wire.
