∙ 13y agoyou can only load a circuit up to 80% #14 wire cu = 15amp x .8= 12amp
refer to table #1, 2, 3, 4 of the code book. you might wan t to verify load type(inductive,resistive.capacitive) in rush currents, or not.

What type of wire gauge should be used for a 20-amperes circuit?
Yes, 12 AWG is good for 25 Amps if copper wire.If aluminum wire, then good for 20 Amps.
How many amps service does 12 gauge yellow wire hold?
The normal current capacity of 12 AWG copper wire is 20 amps.
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.
How many amps is a 14 AWG of 105 degree C wire rated for?
14 AWG of 105 degree Celsius copper wire is rated for twenty-five 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
What is the name of the wiring on the 380 volts system?
depends on the amperage. 14 AWG for 15 amps, 12 AWG for 20 amps, 8 AWG for 50 amps.
What type of wire gauge should be used for a 20-amperes circuit?
Yes, 12 AWG is good for 25 Amps if copper wire.If aluminum wire, then good for 20 Amps.
How many amps service does 12 gauge yellow wire hold?
The normal current capacity of 12 AWG copper wire is 20 amps.
What gauge wire is needed for 200 feet with 110 volts and 50 amps?
6 AWG will handle 50 amps with a voltage drop of about 4 volts. If you go to 4 AWG and limit to 50 amps your voltage drop will be 2.5 volts.
What is the differnet between 15 amp and 20 amp?
5. You are probably asking about wire size. 15 amps is typically 14 AWG and 20 amps is 12 AWG.
Can 12-2 wire be used where only 14-2 wire is required?
Yes the ampacity of #12 is 20 amps whereas the ampacity of #14 is 15 amps, so you are well within the range using #12 wire.
Which gauge CONDUCTOR is suitable for 20 amps current?
AWG 12/2 with ground.

What size wire do you need for 15 amps?
AWG 10.
What is the maximum apm capacity of 12 awg wire?
For typical residential application it is 20 amps.
