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
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.
No, 10 gauge wire requires the use of a 30 amp breaker. A 20 amp breaker is only used on 12 gauge wire.
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 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.

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.
