There are some general rules of thumb, but I like to use a 7-10 amp for 18 gauge wires, 12-14 amp for 16 gauge, 20 amp for 14, and 30 amp for 12 gauge. The wire, and the fuse that protects it should be capable of handling about a 50% overload above the current draw of the accessory it's powering. I'm sure one of our electrical gurus will come along shortly and nitpick the above general suggestions. So be it! Jerry
