It is! Here in the US, that's the word used by the National Electric Code to talk about current carrying capacity

Do "ampacity" and "amperage" mean the same thing?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Not exactly. Amperage is "amount of current", ampacity is "ability to carry current"

So ampacity is fusion of amperage and capacity?
