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 else can I help you with?
Can you use a neutral wire from a existing 110 volt 20 amp circuit to supply a neutral for a washer dryer combo that has only a 220 volt 30 amp 2 wire?
No !
What is the difference in 30 amp 250 volt and 30 amp 600 volt?
The main difference is their voltage ratings. The 30 amp 250 volt rating is suitable for lower voltage applications, while the 30 amp 600 volt rating is suitable for higher voltage applications. It's important to use the correct voltage rating to ensure safety and proper functioning of electrical equipment.
Can you replace a 13 amp 125 volt appliance cord with a 15 amp 125 volt cord?
Yes, no problem at all going to a larger ampacity of wire. Larger size wire yes, smaller size wire no.
