#14 AWG size wire would you use to wire a motor that draws 16 A from a circuit
Step-by-step explanation:
The 16A overload safeguard device guards the 14 AWG transmitters against overcurrent, while the 40A short-circuit safeguard device preserves them from short circuits. Overcurrent security can exceed 15 for 14 AWG.
#14/2 is a nonmetallic wrapped package of 3 solid 14 AWG wires holding an exposed area in the center of 2 insulated conductors. The insulation enclosing the two conductors is white and black, for neutral and “hot” respectively. This cover for 14 AWG cable is normally white when applied for NM-B wiring designed for electrical frequency in a dry place. #14 wire is used essentially in lighting circuits with a 15-ampere circuit breaker.
