Cupper wire can not carry current. Do NOT use Cupper wire to try to apply power. Cupper wire is not amp capable!

Now copper wire, well that's a different story.

It depends upon the designed voltage drop along the cable, which is affected by the construction of the cable and the situation in which it is installed.

British Standard 7671 gives a cable sizing methodology within.
