A # 12 copper wire insulation 90 degrees C is rated at 20 amps.
<><><>
But be very careful: before you can get proper advice about the right size wire to use you have to include information about the length of run and the intended installation method!
Is it to be hung between buildings in the open air or fixed to a wall, etc. ... ?
Is it to be in a conduit or clipped to a cable tray, or is it running underground, etc. ... ?
<><><>
As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
