Bad idea. That cable has only a few thick strands of copper.

Weldingsupply.com is your friend.

If you are referring to the home/commerical power cable then no....it is a very bad idea. As said, they have fewer thicker strands of copper which will make them extremely difficult to bend and work with.

You guys beat me to the punch ... great work ...

Dont use there wire in the car, the two times I heard or seen someone do it was a bad idea. Stick with car audio wire or weldingwire

30 amps

 

“Twelve-gauge wire is good for 20 amps, 10-gauge wire is good for 30 amps, 8-gauge is good for 40 amps, and 6-gauge is good for 55 amps,” and “The circuit breaker or fuse is always sized to protect the conductor [wire].”THHw wire at lowes
