Amp capacity of 10 gage copper wire?

Answer 1

in most circumstances the ampacity of a 10 awg wire is 30 amps but should not be loaded to more than 80% of its capacity as a rule of thumb. there are certain instances were these values can change but like i said under "normal" conditions 30amps

Answer 2

For a 10-gauge copper wire, the ampacity can typically range from 30-40 amps, depending on the specific insulation rating and ambient temperature conditions. It is important to consult the National Electrical Code (NEC) or a qualified electrician to ensure the wire is being used within its safe operating limits.
