What is the amp capability of 600 volt wire?
The current (amp) capability is determined by the wire size in gauge, rather than the voltage rating stamped on the insulation. The most basic rating is 20 Amps for 12 gauge and 15 Amps for 14 gauge wire; however, it can get more complex than that for long runs of wire or for wires run through conduit with other wires. Hire an electrician if this sounds bewildering.
What is the 16 gauge amp rating?
That is 10 amp wire.
What is the amp rating of NM wire?
The ampacity or amp rating of all wire is rated by the size of the wire. NM (non-metallic sheathing) wire is no different. In household wiring 14 gauge wire must go on a 15 amp breaker/ 12 gauge goes on a 20 A and 10 gauge goes on a 30 Amp.
What is amp rating for 16 gauge wire?
10

Is it safe to use 10 gauge wire on a 20 amp breaker for a microwave?
No, 10 gauge wire requires the use of a 30 amp breaker. A 20 amp breaker is only used on 12 gauge wire.
What gauge wire for a 60 amp circuit?
AWG #6 wire.
What is a wire gauge and what is it's use?
wire gauge is used to determine the size of the wire to be installed based on the amperage draw of whatever is being hooked up on the receiving end. ie 14 gauge is for a 15 amp circuit, 12 gauge is for a 20 amp circuit, 10 gauge 30 amp etc. to get specific amp draw ratings on a particular gauge of wire look at a current National Electric code book or ugly book.
What is amp rating for 16 gauge wire?
10
What gauge wire for 24 amp fuses?
AWG # 10
What is the amp rating of 4 gauge wire?
80 amps
What gage wire is needed for a 35 amp ac?
Use 8 gauge wire.
What size wire in a 40 amp 12 volt circuit?
Use 8 gauge wire.
