A #14 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated 15 amps. If it is continuously loaded it has to be de rated to 80% capacity. 15 x .8 = 12 amps. You are well within the range of a #14 wire, only drawing 8.3 amps.

Is a 60 amp breaker enough to for a 10kw heat strip?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.On heating elements of higher wattage 240 volts is usually the working voltage. 10000/240 = 41.6 amps. A #8 copper wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 45 amps. Code states that the conductor can only be loaded to 80% so 45 x .8 = 36 amps. A #6 copper wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 65 amps. 65 x .8 = 52 amps. No. Power = Voltage X Current.....so a 10,000 watt heat strip will draw 10,000 watts / 120 volts = 83 ampsNot so fast.Actually, it depends on the manufacturers guidelines. My 10KW heat strip, in my hvac system, is rated ( by the manufacturer ) at 41.7 amps.8 AWG wire is rated at 40 amps. 6 AWG wire at 50 amps.I used 6 AWG wire and a 50 amp breaker. I passed the electrical inspection.

How many amps can a 20 amp breaker hold on a lightning load?
The general rule of thumb is to size a breaker at 150% of the continuous load or 125% of the non-continuous load. For a 20 amp breaker, this means it can handle a maximum of 16 amps for a continuous load and 20 amps for a non-continuous load, such as a lightning load.
