cross-sections, and allow only alimited number of ampsto flow through them. To adequately figure out what size AWG wire you need, you require at least a wire gauge chart.
The NEC, THHN, & AWG wire gauge amp chart is the easiest way to see the amp rating for different wire thicknesses. From it, you can see a list of things, including: The 6 gauge wire amp rating is 65 amps for copper, with 167°F ambient temperature. The 4 gauge wire amp rating i...
In the chart, we only have the median ampacity at 75°C (167°F) for 6 AWG copper wire. Here is the full table of 6 AWG wire ampacities for 3 different temperatures for 6 gauge copper and aluminum wires: 6 AWG Copper Wire Ampacity Ampacity At 60°C (140°F): Ampacity At 75°C...
