Best Answer

The amperage that a chandelier draws is based on the amount of bulbs and the wattage of the bulbs used in the fixture. Count the amount of bulbs and multiply that number by the wattage of the bulbs. Take this total wattage and use this formula. I = W/E. Amps = Watts/ Volts.

What gauge wire is needed for an 19 bulb chandelier?

To answer this question the total wattage of the fixture is needed. To find this you need to find out the wattage of one bulb. If all of the bulbs are the same multiply the wattage of the bulb times 19. Use this total wattage in the following equation. I = W/E, Amps = Watts/Volts. In North America a #14 conductor is rated at 15 amps but has to be de-rated for a continuous load. This allows the conductor to carry 12 amps legally.A #12 conductor is rated at 20 amps but has to be de-rated for a continuous load. This allows the conductor to carry 16 amps legally.A #10 conductor is rated at 30 amps but has to be de-rated for a continuous load. This allows the conductor to carry 24 amps legally.Hopefully the chandelier falls within this amperage range
