Saw this, and thought it would help people decide on the correct wire gauge for various applications.

handy little chart but I would question some of those numbers. 8AWG is not rated continuous for 95A. it is more like 50Amps. 12 is more like 20, 14 is 15 and so on, those appear to be more like Surge current ratings.

You are correct for AC supplies, DC can take more.
