Wire

GaugesThere are various Gauge of wires available which support different power loads. For example a 6 gauge wire can withstand a load of up to 50 Ampere which means that this wire is appropriate for heavy power usage equipment such as air conditioner, geyser etc. It is very important that proper gauge of cables should be put to proper load. If a lower gauge wiring is subjected to higher load then it may melt and lead to short-circuit.

AmpereThe ampere refer to the amount of current it needs. Thus an equipment requiring 1A will be a less power consuming equipment than a 5A equipment. Also, more the ampere more heavier should be the wiring. Thus an air conditioner running at 5A requires heavier wires than a mobile charger consuming only 1 or 2 A. Equally important here is that the power socket and switch on the power outlet should match.

WattsThe power consumption by an equipment is measured in watts. An electric bulb may be of 15-500 watts while an air conditioner wattage ranges between 2000-2500W. Thus the more watts, the more power consumption will be done by the equipment. Therefore, if an air conditioner is installed then the wiring also needs to be heavy. A 6-gauge minimum is required. Similarly, a smaller gauge wires would do if the watts of equipment is low.

It is advisable to keep the load in mind while selecting the wires. The best way is to imagine what all the equipment's would be used at a place and then calculate the total load. Based on this total load on a particular power outlet, the proper gauge of wires should be used. Besides this, matching switches and sockets should be used so that the power outlet can withstand the power load of the equipment's attached to it.
