It stands for American Wire Gauge and a designation like 10 AWG indicates the size. There are a number of other specifications which derive from the cross sectional area of the wire as designated by the gauge. One confusing aspect is as the number of the gauge gets smaller the current carrying capacity increases.
6 AWG wire
Size 12 in the American Wire Guage (AWG). It's a wire of about 1/10 inch diameter.
AWG # 6 copper or AWG # 4 aluminum
The nearest wire size is #6 AWG which is .162023.
AWG stands for American Wire Gage (gage is spelt gauge in British English)The larger the gauge number, the thinner the wire.
6 AWG wire
American Wire Gauge
AWG 10.
Size 12 in the American Wire Guage (AWG). It's a wire of about 1/10 inch diameter.
A 100 amp service requires that you use AWG 4 copper wire or AWG 2 aluminum wire.
:D
AWG # 6 copper or AWG # 4 aluminum
AWG # 10 wire.

AWG stands for American Wire Gage (gage is spelt gauge in British English)The larger the gauge number, the thinner the wire.
Use only AWG # 10 copper.
I think you mean either what is the correct size or minimum wire size needed when a branch circuit is protected by a 20 A breaker. The size is 12 American Wire gauge (AWG). 14 AWG is used for 15 A circuit and 10 AWG for a 30 A breaker. The lower the gauge the larger the cross-section of the wire.
