Wire Ampacity Rechner

Schätzen Sie safe current capacity for copper wire by AWG gauge.

A/cmil

Estimated Ampacity

12.3 A

Wire Area4,107 cmil

Estimated Ampacity vs AWG Gauge Number

Formel

## Wire Ampacity **I_max = Area x Current_Density** Typical chassis wiring: 0.003 A/cmil. Always check NEC tables for installations.

Lösungsbeispiel

14 AWG copper wire.

  1. 01Diameter = 64.08 mils
  2. 02Area = 4106 cmil
  3. 03Ampacity = 4106 x 0.003 = 12.3 A

Häufig Gestellte Fragen

What affects ampacity?

Wire gauge, insulation type, ambient temperature, and bundling.

Is this NEC rated?

No. NEC ratings depend on specific conditions. This is an engineering estimate.

What happens if exceeded?

Wire overheats, insulation degrades, fire risk increases.
