The number of amps a 12-volt wire can handle depends on the wire's gauge and insulation. For example, a 10 gauge low voltage wire, like the Landscape Lighting 12V Direct Burial Cable, 10/2 AWG, can handle up to 30 amps safely. It's crucial to consult a wire ampacity chart and adhere to electrical codes to ensure safety and prevent overheating. Using a 10 gauge direct burial wire is ideal for outdoor landscape lighting installations, providing both durability and reliability.
