In most kitchen renovation projects, 12-gauge wire is commonly used for general-purpose circuits because it's rated for 20 amps, which is standard for kitchen outlets. However, larger appliances like ovens, dishwashers, or microwaves may require 10-gauge or even 8-gauge wire, depending on the amperage requirements. Always follow local building codes and consult a licensed electrician to ensure safety and compliance.
