Copper wire current ratings assume 10 amps per mm2 for currents up to a few amps. 26 AWG wire has a cross sectional area of 0.13 mm2 so this logic says 1.3 amps.

Yes, 12 AWG is good for 25 Amps if copper wire.If aluminum wire, then good for 20 Amps.


What size wire do you need for 15 amps?

AWG 10.


What is amp rating for 8 to 14 gauge aluminum wiring?

There is no rating for #14 wire in the electrical code book. This is because #12 aluminium wire is rated at 20 amps and that is the minimum of home wiring circuit wiring in aluminium. It is not, if at all, used anymore. #10 at 75 or 90 degree C is rated both at 30 amps. #8 at 75 or 90 degree C is rated both at 45 amps.


What size wire should you use for a 20 amp breaker?

A #12 wire is rated at 20 amps, continuous loading at 80% = 16 amps. # 10 wire is rated at 30 amps, continuous loading at 80% = 24 amps.


How many amps can a 12 awg wire carry at 240 volts?

The voltage has nothing to do with the capacity of a wire to handle current. A #12 copper wire with an insulation factor of 60, 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 20 amps.


Will awg 10 wire carry 30 amps for 30feet?

Yes, a #10 wire will carry 30 amps for 30 feet. If the load is rated as continuous then the wire will have to be derated to 80% capacity which will leave you with 24 workable amps. If the load demands currents higher that 24 amps then you will have to go to the next wire size up which is a #8 which is rated at 45 amps.


What size wire and breaker do you need for a 5000 watt garage heater?

Look on the heater and see what amps it is pulling. That will determine the wire size and breaker size. It must be on a dedicated circuit. 15 amps = AWG # 14 wire with 15 amp breaker 20 amps = AWG # 12 wire with 20 amp breaker 30 amps = AWG # 10 wire with 30 amp breaker 40 amps = AWG # 8 wire with 40 amp breaker
