Nec Wire Ampacity Chart
Nec Wire Ampacity Chart. The reason is the inherent practicality and breadth of installations covered by "…Insulated Conductors with Not More Than Three Current-Carrying Conductors in Raceway, Cable, or Earth (Directly Buried)". It is measured in amperes (amps).
The AWG size chart also shows the current in amperes for chassis wiring and power transfer application. You must use the correct size wire for the current (load) requirement of the circuit to prevent the wire from overheating. Wire Size Chart: Allowable Ampacities of Conductors in Free Air..
The above ampacity numbers are for reference only.
The best way to determine wire rating is by using the NEC chart.
You must use the correct size wire for the current (load) requirement of the circuit to prevent the wire from overheating. THHN wire refers to thermoplastic high heat nylon wire. Ampacity is the maximum continuous current carrying capacity of a wire inside a cable or raceway.
