Look up a wire table on Google. The table tells you the cross-section area area of the 24 g wire. Multiply that by 4 then find the gauge that gives the new cross-section.
A 24 AWG wire has a cross-section of 0.205 sq.mm. Four of those have a c/s area of 0.82 sq. mm. so the nearest equivalent wire is 21 AWG at 0.81 sq. mm.

How are wires measured?
Wiring is measured in AWG (American Wire Gauge) in North America.Sometimes it's designated with the number sign in front, such as14 gauge or #14 wire.The smaller gauge numbers, mean larger diameter wire. So #10 wire is thicker (and can carry more current) than #18.From The Home Depot Wiring 1-2-3 book, here are some typical gauges used in homes:For copper wiring: 10 gauge wire is rated for 30 amps, 12 gauge rated for 20 amps & 14 gauge wire rated for 15 amps.A wire going to a small appliance many times is 18 gauge. Telephone wire is smaller (I think 24 gauge).
Maximum current for 24 gauge wire?
ampacity is 1.3 Amps
24 gauge telephone wire could run in 1500 ft still working?
The easy answer is yes 1500 ft on 24 gauge telephone wire would work fine with a phone. Assuming this is for residential home analog phone usage then you would be using 2 wires so the upper limit is 3,500 Feet. If you need it to go further then you will need to use 22 gauge wire and that can get you up to 5,500 feet. Some considerations though is all the other wiring in the home, since all of it is powered by a single pair from the demarcation point aka "phone box" on the outside of your home, it all counts towards the total. If you are using this with a PBX aka "business phone system" and the phone uses 4 wires then the distance limitations are as follows: 22 or 24 gauge = 5,000 feet 26 gauge wire = 4,000 feet Hope this helps.
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.
Will 26 gauge wire work for a rabbit snare?
i would have to take a guess at this one and say yes aslong as its rather tough to snap. if i remember right 26 gauge wire is rather thin. I use 20 gauge wire 0.8mm and finding it a little to thick for anything smaller than a fox but 24 gauge is the lowest i would probably go. ive been taught though that the thinner the wire the better as long as it can take the strain. The U.S and British army both carry 24 gauge wire in their survival kits for multiple purposes, snaring being one of them.
Does a 26 gauge wire have a lower resistive value than a 24 gauge wire?
If the wires are of identical materials, the 26 guage wire has more (higher) resistance.
What type of wire gauge should be used for a 80 oz circuit?
The thickness of copper telephone wires was/is specified by their weight per mile. 80 oz per mile is about 24 gauge in the USA
Which is thinner 24 gauge floral wire or 30 gauge floral wire?
Bigger guage number = smaller diameter wire. 30 guage is thinner
What gauge wire for 24 amp fuses?
AWG # 10

What gauge wire is best for beads?
It depends on the size of the hole your beeds have. Usually prefer I prefer to work with 22-24 gauge soft wire.
Maximum current for 24 gauge wire?
ampacity is 1.3 Amps
What does GA for tubing stand for?
the answer is gauge its a measurement of thickness in wire the 4 gauge (ga) wire ran from my car battery to power my audio amp. the smaller the number the bigger the wire usually from 24 gauge to 1/0 gauge which is about a inch thick
What wire gauge used for headphones?
The wire gauge in thin headphone cables is quite small. I have read of people rewiring their headphones using 12 Gauge wire. There are commercial cables that use 11 gauge. The thicker the wire the less the resistance up to a point. Many headphones use 22 or 24 gauge and it seems to work OK.

Is the 12 gauge stronger than a 24 gauge shotgun?
All else being equal, yes.
