Fourteen gauge is good for 15 amps, 12 gauge is rated for 20 amps, 10 gauge is rated for 30amps, 8 gauge is rated for 40 amps and 6 gauge is rated for 50 amps. This is based on copper wire either solid or stranded single conductors. Mulitiple conductors in conduit will have a lower rating due to temperature.
