To be safe, I derate every wire I use buy multiplying the NEC rating by .82. Example- The chart says #14 is good for 25 amps. 25 X .82 = 20.5. The code requires #14 be protected by a 15 amp breaker or fuse. I choose fuse sizes to protect the wiring not the device that is the load.

The following chart is a guideline of “ampacity”, or copper wire current carrying capacity following the Handbook of Electronic Tables and Formulas for American Wire Gauge. As you might guess, ... For short lengths of wire, such as is used in battery packs you should trade off the resistance and load with size, weight,

So an example using the chart below: if you were running a 1200 watt amplifier that is rated at 100 amps, and used 18 total feet of wire from the battery to the amp you would want to use 1/0 gauge wire. For longer distances it is possible to run a 3/0 gauge wire which can handle the 100 amp load for 42 total feet.

The table lists the American Wire Gauge (AWG) sizes for conductors. In addition to wire size, the table provides values load (current) carrying capacity, ... Current (ampacity) Notes: The current ratings shown in the table are for power transmission and have been determined using the rule of 1 amp per 700 circular mils,

The wire gauge is found at the intersection of Amps and Feet. In most load circuits, a 3% drop is quite acceptable. In charging circuits it often pays to have less of a drop. Always use one size bigger if practical.

I am generally a bit skeptical of the max capacity the sources I found claimed for some of the smaller wire sizes. For example, 16 gauge wire is mighty thin to run 20A through for even a short distance, and this chart is a conservative interpretation of the data I found out there.

Improper selection of wire gauge can lead to an unacceptable voltage drop at load end. The following chart is designed to help calculate voltage drop per 100 feet of paired wire as a function of wire gauge and load current.
