Hello,
Does anyone know where I can find out how much current specific gauges
of wire can handle? I've looked up web pages on it, but can't figure
out what they mean... for example at
http://www.interfacebus.com/Copper_Wire_AWG_SIze.html
There's a column that says: Current Carrying, and another that says
Fusing Current
I'm interested in figuring out if 20 AWG wire can handle steady DC of
7.25 Amps, for 20 AWG is says
Current Carrying: 1.46
Fusing Current: 58.4
? I don't get what they're saying.... other websites have been
similarly confusing..
Much Thanks
