Hi!
I have wires that have printed 600V 16 AWG on it. I found this table: http://www.basicsofelectricalengineering.com/2017/07/basics-of-wire-gauge-and-awg-system.html . As I understood then long wires can be used to transmit 3.7 amps and short ones 22 amps? Also does it depend on voltages? Like if I have 230 Volts instead of 600 will the maximum amps still be 22 or will it go up when volts go down?
In my case I have short cable (20 cm at most). So that means that I can hook it electrical appliance that takes 230V*22A = 5060W of power?
Just asking to know if I understood it correctly or not.
