Anybody know where I can find a good chart that lists the of amps that that can run on a certain wire gauge? Optionally, also have an estimate of the resistance of the wire gauge to how long the wire is.
I've already tried googling it and not exactly the type of charts I'm looking for.
Scenario: What's the max amount of amps I can run on 16AWG that's approximately 15 feet long. I'm trying to run a hot wire from the engine bay of my jeep to the spare tire mount to power back up lights. So I need to figure out the max amps of the lights so I don't fry the wire and I'm not doing standard run-of-the-mill back up lights either. Not tapping in on the hot wire that feed the brake lights because I don't want to risk frying something that's on the OEM wiring circuit.
