Default Wire gauge needed for amps
In article ,
says...

I was looking for a site that would tell me which gauge wire to use based on amps and length of wire.

Wanted to run 3 feet for a 15 amp load.

Thanks,
Andy

For short runs I would just use what is normally the code for house
wiring. For 15 amps that would be # 14, 20 amps #12.
