What standards are used for wire gauges?
The diameter of the wire measured in MCM, (thousand circular mils). Wire sizes in the U.S. are described in AWG, (American Wire Gauge) such as #12 awg printed on the wire.
What does 250kcmil AWG mean?
It is a wire size, the equivalent cross sectional area in thousands of circular mils. e.g. 500 MCM or kcmil = 500,000 circular mils. The circular mil is a unit of area used especially when denoting the cross-sectional size of a wire. It is the equivalent area of a circle whose diameter is 0.001 (10-3) inch. AWG stands for American Wire Guage.
What does awg stands for?
AWG stands for American Wire Gauge. It is a standardized wire gauging system for the diameters of round, solid, electrically conducting wire.
What is the characteristic resistance of 14 AWG solid copper wire at room temperature?
0.06411.628142.5258.2825.96700 Hz
What is gauge 8 means in copper electrical wire?
In cooper electrical wire, gauge 8 means the wire size assigned by the American Wire Gauge (AWG) system. That is why you always will hear about AWG WIRE, it's not the type of wire is the gauge that we are talking about. A gauge 8 wire will be used for connections requiring from 40-45 amps to a maximum of 73 amps. (24 for power transmission). Diameter of an 8 AWG wire is 0.12849 inches. 8 AWG is solid, not stranded.

Should 20 AWG be used for a 30-amperes wire?
No. A #20 wire does not have the physical circular mils for a load of 30 amps. The wire would burn the circuit open.
What is the diameter of no. 000 AWG wire has an area of 167000 CM?
408.6 mils
What size aluminum wire for 1200 amp service?
For Service Entrance Cable 600 kcmill (Thousands of circular mils).
WHAT IS THE Cable size in mm2 required for 100 amps?
Approximate overall diameter of the wire is 12.8 mm. If you are looking for metric wire size 95 mm2. 187500 circular mils.
What does awg stands for?
AWG stands for American Wire Gauge. It is a standardized wire gauging system for the diameters of round, solid, electrically conducting wire.
Convert 262 mcm to AWG?
Using the AWG for wire sizes only goes up to 4/0. After that the increases use MCM to size the wire. So your 262 MCM wire size will be same in AWG. There is no 262 MCM in the North American market place. It goes in 50 MCM increments starting at 250 MCM , 300 MCM, 350 MCM, 400 MCM right up to 2000 MCM cable.
What is the characteristic resistance of 14 AWG solid copper wire at room temperature?
0.06411.628142.5258.2825.96700 Hz
What are some commercial uses for 9 solid copper wire?
Beats me, the National Electrical Code does not list a #9 awg wire.

What does AWG mean?
American Wire Guage. The smaller the number the larger the wire. As in an AWG 14/2 wire is much smaller than an AWG 10/2 wire.
