What is larger 12 gauge wire or 20 gauge wire?
Yes, a #12 AWG conductor has a greater diameter than a #14 AWG conductor. A #12 conductor has an ampacity of 20 amps whereas a #14 conductor only has an ampacity of 15 amps.
What is the table 310.16 of the NEC?
It's a table that shows the ampacity ratings for the particular wire size and insulation you are using. Example: #12 THHN CU is rated @ 30amps under the 90 degree column. (#12)is the wire size, (THHN)is the type of insulation on the wire (CU)is copper. You shouldn't be using the chart unless you're a qualified electrician simply because there are many sub rules and exceptions.
Allowable ampacity of 10 copper thin wire rated at 75 degree Celsius?
Isn't it 35, according to the NEC 310.15(B)(16) Table.
How many amps can a 2.5 sq mm wire conduct?
It will taken 8 amps <<>> The conversion of 2.5 sq mm wire to AWG is equal to a #12 wire. The ampacity of a #12 copper wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is 20 amps.
What is the ampacity of each five no 8 aluminum conductors with thhn insulation being routed through a conduit with ambient temperature of 75 Celsius?
School question. The answer can be found in your electrical code book.
