If you're looking for a wire to cover all the areas use 10 guage. Very heavy but will handle most normal vehicle requirements except for extreme areas such as starter/battery cables (1 - 6 guage), and some stereo main amp feeds. You won't need 10 guage in a lot of applications (overkill) but it will cover most areas as I said. 16 guage is good for a lot of vehicle applications (lighting etc..). Check out the area of repair/installation and depending on the amperage needed you select you wiring. Below is a link to a chart you may find usefull. http://www.kayjayco.com/techPractical.htm

∙ 14y agoSure you can use 14gage wiring for a 12V system. Assuming you are talking about the wiring commonly used in homes referred to as Romex cable. This cable is rated for up to 600V and can be used for any voltage under 600. However the problem you run into is 14gage Romex cable is rated for 15A regardless of the voltage. If you were to use it for a 12V system you would be limited to only 180W. Considering that most 12V light bulbs are 40W this would allow you to power only 4 40W bulbs on a 14gage circuit.

∙ 14y agoA 12 Gauge wire will handle approximately 20-26 Amps regardless of the voltage. Higher amperage can be attained by using wire with insulation that can handle higher heat.

What gauge wire you would use to wire a 5kw heater hvac?
At 120 Volts you would draw about 42 amps. At 240 Volts it would be about 21 amps. For 120 Volts you would need 6 AWG and for 240 Volts you would need 10 AWG.
What amps is for 16 gauge wire?
10
What can you use 10 gauge wire for?
ten gauge wire is used for high current circuits. in home wiring, 12 gauge wire is normally used. 12 gauge wire can carry a maximum of 20 amps. 10 gauge wire on the other hand, is larger and can carry more current. the maximum current capacity of a 10 gauge wire is around 30 amps. one would use this for a stove, hvac or other power hungry device's.
What size of wire needed for 220volt?
Wire is not sized by voltage. It is sized by current measured in amps. Some common copper wire sizes and their current capacities are: 15 amps -- 14 gauge wire 20 amps -- 12 gauge wire 30 amps -- 10 gauge wire 40 amps -- 8 gauge wire
Does a 20 amp circuit require a number 12 gauge wire?
12 guage wire israted for 20 amps and 10 guage is rated for thirty amps! 12 gauge is what is required, as it is rated for 20 amps. 10 gauge is rated for 30 and will be more then enough. Oversizing wire in your case isn't necessary. The thicker 10 gauge wire is harder to work with and will more then likely cost more.
What is ampere rating of 10 gauge wire at 120 volts and at 240 volts?
30 amps.
What size copper wire do you need for 240 volts 16 amps at 150ft?
10 gauge
What gauge wire would you need 5600 watts 240 volts 23.3 amps?
AWG # 10.
What gauge wire is required for 25 amps over 100 ft at 240 volts?
10 AWG copper.
What gauge wire you would use to wire a 5kw heater hvac?
At 120 Volts you would draw about 42 amps. At 240 Volts it would be about 21 amps. For 120 Volts you would need 6 AWG and for 240 Volts you would need 10 AWG.
What size wire for 10kw 240 volt?
10 mm2 cross section should be sufficient (#6 wire?)
What gauge wire can handle 28 amps?
10 guage
If I have 150ft of 10 gauge wire with 60 amp service how many amps and watts do I have available at the end of the line?
10 gauge wire will only run up to 30 amps
What is the amperage limit of 10 gauge solid wire?
Typically 30 amps.
What amps is for 16 gauge wire?
10
How many amps is a 16 gauge wire 12 volts rated for?
12 ga, 20 amp. 14 ga, 15 amp. 16 ga, 10 amp.
