Hello,Does anyone know where I can find out how much current specific gaugesof wire can handle? I've looked up web pages on it, but can't figureout what they mean... for example atThere's a column that says: Current Carrying, and another that saysFusing CurrentI'm interested in figuring out if 20 AWG wire can handle steady DC of7.25 Amps, for 20 AWG is saysCurrent Carrying: 1.46Fusing Current: 58.4? I don't get what they're saying.... other websites have beensimilarly confusing..Much Thanks

Fusing current is pretty obvious isn't it ?Also beware of operation at elevated temperatures and derate when bundledor run in trunking.Graham

insults.

No. You and your word wrap 'solution' stupidity is what does not even touch anything about Usenet.

You are a Usenet interloper, at best. You know about sig delimiters, but your knowledge about Usenet itself hovers right at zero.
