I was looking at a wire table to see how much current a particular gauge
wire could safely handle. Unfortunately, I don't understand the table. Here
is a web site with a table.

I don't know what "ampacity" means. How do you determine how much current
for instance, can 14/2 romex for home wiring handle safely? I know that the
limit for home wiring is 15 Amps, but want to "prove" it if I can.
Thanks,
Ken
