Wire Size for 93.69 Amps
Typical copper and aluminum wire gauges for 93.69 amps across common run lengths on a 120V circuit, sized to keep voltage drop under 3% and respect the NEC 240.4(D) small-conductor rule. Actual install sizing depends on conductor material, insulation/termination temperature rating, cable type, ambient and bundling derates, and local code.

Aluminum is not typical for 10 AWG and smaller branch-circuit conductors in residential settings. Copper gauges use the NEC 240.4(D) branch-circuit cap, not raw 75°C ampacity.
