I believe these are the general ratings for both C13 and C19 as I wasn't sure what outlet you were plugging it into. Depending on what region you're located in, these would apply to the outlet itself.

IEC-320-C13: 12 A; IEC-320-C19: 16 A UL (derated)

IEC-320-C13: 10 A; IEC-320-C19: 16 A VDE

IEC-320-C13: 15 A; IEC-320-C19: 20 A PSE

I had thought at 230V, C13's could provide 10A max where as with 208 and 200V they are derated to 12A.
