How many amps can 2 AWG wire handle?

115 amps
How many amps can a 2 gauge wire handle? Well, at standard temperature of 75°C, the 2 gauge wire has a 115 amps ampacity. That means that any 2 gauge copper wire can, at that temperature, handle up to 115 amps safely.

What is the difference between 2 0 and 2 AWG?

2 AWG will handle around 94 Amps, while 2/0 AWG will handle around 190 Amps. The length of the wire must be considered as well as the % voltage drop in order for this to be true.

Which is thicker 26 or 22 gauge wire?

Comes in 8, 16, 18, 20, 21, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, and 36 gauge. The lower (8), the thicker the wire. The higher the number (36), the thinner.
