8 Gauge Wire Ampacity
If we check the Ampacity of the 8 gauge solid copper wire, then we can see that the Ampacity depends on the temperature:
- @60°C/140°F: 40 Amps,
- @75°C/167°F: 50 Amps,
- @90°C/194°F: 55 Amps.
80% Rule
For safety reasons, one has to increase the required Ampacity using the "80% Rule":
- @60°C/140°F: 40 Amps * 0.8 = 32 Amps,
- @75°C/167°F: 50 Amps * 0.8 = 40 Amps,
- @90°C/194°F: 55 Amps * 0.8 = 44 Amps.
So, the actual Ampacity of the 8 gauge solid copper wire @60°C/140°F is 32 Amps and NOT the default 40 Amps.
