Huh?


I think what he means is that the wires that were used for, say 15 amp
circuits before are a larger gauge than those used now. You could run
20 amps over K&t circuits designed to run 15 amps - at least in terms of
the gauge of the wire.

I think it's reference to insulation or lack of. With no insulation the
wire dissipates heat faster, hence the higher rating.
