Regular telephone wire is rated a 28
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.
12 awg is larger.
AWG stands for American Wire Gauge. It is a standardized wire gauging system for the diameters of round, solid, electrically conducting wire.
The larger the AWG number the smaller the wire. 10 AWG wire can carry more current than 12 AWG wire.The wire sizes of 24 and 26 are the smallest that are used in the electrical.See related links below
American Wire Gauge ( AWG )
Use a wire table to find the cross-section area of #33 wire, multiply by 7, then find the AWG for that cross-section.
6 AWG wire
AWG= American wire guage SWG = standard wire guage
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.
AWG is American wire gauge and SWG means Standard wire gauge .. swg+1=awg according to my calculation...
AWG 10.
A 100 amp service requires that you use AWG 4 copper wire or AWG 2 aluminum wire.
