Max current for different AWG sizes
Max current for different AWG sizes
(OP)
Hello,
I was looking up max. current for different copper AWG sizes, and I found different amperages every time. Why is that? Is there any standard for this case? Would appreciate any advice.
Thanks

Not sure where you are, NEC has quiet a number of tables for ampacities for the same reason. Ultimately it is related to heat dissipation to keep the temperature of the conductor within acceptable limits
