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.
