Why Wire Gauge Is Important
Wire Use Rated Ampacity Wire Gauge Low-voltage lighting and lamp cords 10 amps **18**-gauge Extension cords (light-duty) 13 amps 16-gauge Light fixtures, lamps, lighting circuits **15 amps** 14-gauge Kitchen, bathroom, and outdoor receptacles (outlets); 120-volt air conditioners 20 amps 12-gauge
