Not really, I am a lay person... not LAME but... not an electrician anyhow. But I was reading online and someone wrote 12gauge wire only supports 360 watts. Anyway, I bought 14/2 so I guess I should return it. We're installing a outlet for a room we're gonna slowly work on to make a gym and sauna and hot tub and steam room... I can't wait... so all that power will surge the house and melt that 14 wire I think... my father in law says the lower #'s are the tougher ones...
The 12ga/20A circuit will support 2400W (20Ax120V), but you cannot support the sauna, hot tub, and steam room on the circuit unless all your heating comes from another source.
