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.
A 10 mm squared conductor is equal to a #8 AWG. A #8 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C are both rated at 45 amps.
Canada and US - 10 mm is larger that #8 AWG and smaller that #6 AWG. To err on the safe side I will use the #6 AWG equivalent of 60 amps, RW90 insulation, copper wire.
Capacity for cable 70mm (143-212 amp) and may vary depending on installation method used.
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.
8 AWG.
To make 8 AWG stranded electrical cable, several strands of smaller gauge wires are twisted together to reach the required thickness. This stranding process provides flexibility and durability to the cable. Finally, the stranded wires are insulated and jacketed to protect them from environmental elements.
A 10 mm squared conductor is equal to a #8 AWG. A #8 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C are both rated at 45 amps.
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.
If it's a heavy gauge (around 8 AWG IIRC), that's the charge wire to the alternator BATT post. The larger cable (about 4 AWG) goes to the starter.
Canada and US - 10 mm is larger that #8 AWG and smaller that #6 AWG. To err on the safe side I will use the #6 AWG equivalent of 60 amps, RW90 insulation, copper wire.
Yes the ampacity of #12 is 20 amps whereas the ampacity of #14 is 15 amps, so you are well within the range using #12 wire.
The ampacity of 8 AWG aluminum wire can vary depending on the specific installation and code requirements, but as a general guideline, it can typically handle around 40-50 amps for residential applications. It's important to consult the National Electrical Code (NEC) or a qualified electrician for the most accurate information.

Allowable ampacity for 10-2 copper NM-B is 30 A.http://www.cerrowire.com/default.aspx?id=46
American Wire Gauge. Measure the thickness of the cable.
"... the rating of the overcurrent device shall not be less than the non-continuous load plus 125% of the continuous load." NEC 2008 Article 210.20(A) Furthermore, the ampacity of the conductor must be derated to 80% of allowable ampacity as stated in Table 310.16. Please take note of the exception to the table for #14 AWG, #12 AWG, and #10 AWG in Article 240.4(D) which automatically derates small conductors such as these to 15A, 20A, and 30A respectively. Also be aware of all other ampacity derating that may be required by Article 310 and Article 422.
