A #8 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 50 and 55 amps respectively. When distance comes into the equation, the question becomes a voltage drop question and a supply voltage over the 200 feet has to be stated.
A #16 copper conductor is not a wiring size that is used in homes. This is because the smallest breaker for residential use is rated for 15 amps. A #16 copper conductor is only rated at 13 amps. For a load of 13 amps over 100 feet a #12 copper would be required.
A#18 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 6 amps.
The number of automotive amps a 30-foot strand of copper wire can carry depends on the gauge (thickness) of the wire. For example, a 30-foot strand of 10-gauge copper wire can typically carry up to 40-50 amps for automotive use, while a 30-foot strand of 12-gauge wire might be limited to around 25-30 amps. It's important to consult wire ampacity tables and consider factors like temperature and voltage drop to ensure safe and effective performance.
According to NEC, it's max rating in free air is 18 amps.
CEC - #2 copper, RW90 insulation, 120 amps. #2 aluminium, RW90 insulation, 95 amps. he is not talking about Amplifiers. he is talking about amperes, the unit of measure that indicates how much electricity can flow through a wire. and it depends on the length of the wire, but 2 gauge wire will handle about 208 amps. depends on how big the amps are
If you mean 2/0 copper wire it is rated 175 amps. # 2 wire is 115 amps. If you are referring to 2.0 metric it is rated 15 amps.

Couple of things wrong here. 30 isn't a wire size. If you mean a wire that can carry 30 amps that would be # 10. Now it depends on how many # 10 wires you want to put into a conduit that governs the size of the conduit.

The ampacity of an electrical cable depends on several factors, including the cable's cross-sectional area (in mm²), insulation type, installation conditions, and ambient temperature. As a general rule of thumb, copper cables can carry approximately 10 amps per mm² for low-voltage applications. For example, a 1.5 mm² copper cable typically carries around 10-16 amps, while a 2.5 mm² cable can carry approximately 16-25 amps. Always consult local electrical codes and standards for specific applications.
