Hey guys, I have a pretty noob question,
I know there are different sized wires rated in AWG, and there are current ratings for each diameter. http://www.powerstream.com/Wire_Size.htm
But how come whenever I see charts like that, the maximum current column never defines at what voltage. I don't get it. I tried searching everywhere.
So does it mean, say 20AWG wire, can transmit 1.5 amps, both at 200volts DC and 0.1 volts DC?
well ultimately, the question is, can 24AWG wire transmit 3amps @12 volt DC for power?
Thanks
