In my experience there is no such thing as 32 gauge wire. If it existed it would be so small as to be breakable by 2 fingers, probably the size of a human hair or smaller.

I'm using 32 gauge wire in a project of mine. The amp rating can be found at the link below.

OK, I stand corrected. It certainly is not a wire listed in the NEC. According to the reference mentioned above, 32 gauge wire would carry 0.53 amps in free air and 0.32 amps in conduit.

Please note: that the amperage capacities in this chart do not align themselves with either the CEC or the NEC electrical code books.

What is the maxamin voltage you can draw from a 32 amp socket?

The maximum voltage you can draw from a 32 amp socket depends on the voltage rating of the socket. For example, if it is a standard 240-volt socket, the maximum voltage you can draw is 240 volts. It's important to check the voltage rating of the socket to ensure you are not exceeding its limits.


What size wire do you need for a 30amp 120 volt appliance. It will be run in steel conduit.?

A #10 copper wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 30 amps. If you need the full 30 amps for the load use a #8 copper wire. Loaded to 80% of rating will give you 32 usable amps.

Can you change the 32amp 240v socket to a 16amp socket on your generator?

No! The 32 amp rating is slightly more than the circuit that supplies it can handle in continuous power supplied, therefore if you replace it with a socket that has a smaller amperage rating (16) you will have the potential to draw through the new socket more (32) amps than it was rated for and thus have a component failure and possible electrocution hazard. The 16 amp socket will physically work but you and anyone who will use the generator in the future MUST ensure that no more than 16 amps are drawn through the socket . I recommend that a like in kind replacement , 32 amps for 32 amps so the full 32 amp supply can be used safely. my opinion.

Yes, providing the phase is the same. but you can't do the other way around, or breaker will immediately pop, or fuse will blow.
