Default wire size

I have a home brew dipole antenna made from #22 copper What is ther
maximum power
that it can handle. Support is not a problem. I want to test it for
max power using a 8877 which will blow if the wire
opens, and they are costly. Ofcourse I would like a bit of safety in
hand. Does minimum wire size vary much dependent on band useage? I
have no idea what manufactures use for commercial style antennas!
