What ampere supply cable is required for an appliance drawing 120VA?

Answer:

Answer

you dont go by voltage to determine wire size its amps you have to go by.

15A= 14GA 20A= 12GA 30A= 10GA and so on down the line.

Answer

120VA at 120V = 1A

14ga will be more than heavy enough. If you are replacing a power cord you can yse a 16 or 18ga cable.

Answer

120VA is a measure of power, not voltage. Thus, you need a cable capable of carrying 120/V amperes safely, where V is the voltage (usually 120V in North America).
