Whether you're installing, extending, or rewiring a circuit, finding out the wire gauge and amperage you will need is a key first step. The gauge—or size—of the wire used needs to match ...

These rules of thumb are referring to the amperage capacity or “ampacity” of the conductor (wire) and are often correct. Sometimes, these general rules lead technicians to believe that if an appliance ...

Within the app, dropdown fields allow the user to select the conductor type, wire/cable type, conductor size, ambient temperature, and the number of current-carrying conductors. These inputs, along ...

In this video (Episode 12), Randy Barnett defines ampacity, how conductors and ampacity are related ... The thermoplastic insulations are produced from PVC and are the most common type of building ...
