You might want to go take a look at my web site for amperage listing for SAE
We took this right from the SAE Book J-378
This should help.

Also take a look at the following and you might find some more of those
electrical questions.

Folks,
AC current tends to travel on the surface of the
conductors at higher frequencies (>1 Mhz), but not DC.
It's the cross sectional area that determines DC
current handling (conveniently expressed in circular
mils as I recall).
The multistranding serves to make the cable more
flexible, easier to terminate, and also to allow
manufacturers to build up a variety of larger cables
from the same smaller stock wire.
