The overcurrent rating for 14 AWG (American Wire Gauge) copper wire is typically around 15 to 20 amps for general use in residential wiring, depending on the application and insulation type. For continuous loads, it's advisable to limit the current to 80% of the maximum rating, which would be about 12 amps. Always refer to local electrical codes and standards for specific applications and conditions.
