As we all know, the cable thhn 8 awg belong to most common used thhn stranded or solid wire and popular in many countries, such as The Philippines, Chile and Peru. The article is help you figure out the amp value of a standard cable thhn 8 awg.
The most common single conductor copper wire we carry is 55 AMPS cable thhn 8 awg, which is RATED FOR 55 AMPS @ 90 degrees Celsius. (150 degrees Fahrenheit). However, cable thhn 8 awg is also available in 100 and 110 amp ranges.
If you need 200 amps, then use, if you need 300 amps, use cable thhn 8 awg. You can use any number of strands of thin gauge wire to get higher amperages. For example, if you were to use cable thhn 8 awg instead of 3, your maximum current would be 96 amps. But since 4 AWG wire is usually not available outside of industrial uses, people tend to stick with what's commonly used - especially when ordering online.
The important thing is that you don't put more voltage across a fixed resistor than the resistor can handle. So if you were to connect eight 3-foot lengths of 4 AWG wire in series, then it would take the total length up to 39 feet before you would start exceeding the maximum rating of the resistor. That's over 10 times as long as a standard 3-foot length of wire!
