Some 12 gauge wire doesn't care if you're pushing 12V, 120V, or 240V but is only rated for 20A. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] kn33@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago The easiest way to think about it is that the conductor is rated for the current, and the insulator is rated for the voltage. Now, once you get into the nitty gritty, they're more intertwined than that, but it's close enough for a surface level explanation. permalink fedilink source parent
