Hi all, I have a silly question, I'm wondering if we can use soft silicone wire as main power cable? Since the voltage rating is more than 300V, and max amp is more than 30A for 16AWG silicone wire, because I still have leftover of 16AWG wire.

Here from the wall it is 240V and 13A, perhaps can use thicker one such as 14 or 12AWG for safety reason.
