I’ve searched and can’t find a general rule of thumb for wire size vs circuit breaker rating chart.

If you have one, please share.

THAT’S IT

You made my day. Thanks.

Ummm... if you're building an airplane and don't have this chart AND the rest of the book that comes with it I would respectfully submit that you should be updating your technical library. AC 43-13 is the bible for builders.

Thank you for reminding me to bring mine home from the airport.

Wire bundles

What is the guidance in terms of wire bundles? AWG 22 -> 5Amps breaker what about if I need to bundle together 2 or 3 AWG 22 wires? If I understand the book correctly the breaker remains 5Amps right?

Correct, 5amp breaker. The chart says 15 wires or more in the bundle.
