What is larger 0 AWG or 4 AWG?

the lower the number, the larger the wire. 0 AWG is larger than 4 AWG More information: The above answer is correct but I wish to add more information. What you are calling 0 AWG is usually written as 1/0 and called "one ought". From there the numbers get larger: 1/0, 2/0 (read "2 ought"), 3/0, and 4/0. From there wires are written in there MCM size or kcmils (kilo-circular-mills) which stands for thousand circular mills, the same as MCM. That's a lot of useless information unless you are a competent electrician. I just wanted to clarify that 0 AWG is commonly called 1/0, or "one ought."

Does the AWG of a wire stand for the size of wire?

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.
