Will 14-2 wire push 15 amps at 80ft?

Answer 1

80 feet of 14 AWG wire has a resistance of about .2 ohms. So at 15 amps the voltage drop across the length of wire is about 3 volts. With 120 volt service, this should be fine. If you up the wire size to 12 AWG, the voltage drop would be 1.9 volts.

Answer 2

Yes, 14-2 wire is rated to carry up to 15 amps of current. However, the length of the wire, in this case 80ft, can increase the resistance of the wire, potentially causing voltage drop. It's recommended to consult with an electrician to ensure the wire size and length are suitable for the intended application.
