What is AWG18 in inches?
AWG18 wire has a diameter of 0.0403 inches.
What is cross-sectional area of a wire if its outside diameter is 0.0625 inch?
0.0031
What happens to the cross-sectional area of metal wire if you double the diameter?
If the diameter doubles (x2), the cross-sectional area quadruples (x4).
How many gauge in mm?
For wire gauge, 1.25 mm diameter wire is closest to 16 gauge (AWG). See related link.
How do I convert wire gauge into millimeters?
Here's the formula for converting American (or Brown and Sharpe) wire gauge to millimeters:dn = 0.005 mm x 25.4 x 92 36-n/39With this formula, you can convert a wire gauge size to the diameter of the wire in millimeters. The dn is the diameter of the wire in millimeters, as you might have guessed, and the n in the exponent is the gauge of the wire you wish to find the diameter of.Wikipedia has a fine article on this. They have the formula for converting wire gauge to diameter as well as one for calculating cross-sectional area. They also explain where the formula comes from, if you're interested. The formula for converting from diameter to the wire gauge, the inverse of this formula, is also listed, as is a chart. A link is provided for you convenience. Another link is also provided to an online calculator that will let you just put in a diameter or a wire gauge and will do all the work for you. (Note that this calculator works in inches and not millimeters, so you'll have to make a conversion.)Improved Answer By Sandip Vikma :"Above original formula is difficult to calculate. So, you may use bellow derived formula to convert Gauge into MM".dn = 0.127 x 92 [0.9230769-0.025641026n]Where,dn = Thickness in MM.n = Thickness in Gauge.
What is the weight of 400 mcm copper wire per foot?
500mcm 37 strand copper wire = 1.544lbs/ft.
If the wire is increased what should happen to the diameter?
If the length of the wire increases its diameter decreases
What is the diameter of 16 gauge wire?
16-gauge wire has a diameter of 0.05082 inches.
You have 3 sets of conduits with 6 500MCM conductors in each one what is your ampacity?
The ampacity of 500 MCM R 90 degree wire is 395 amps. Don't forget to de-rate the wire as there are more that three conductors in a raceway.
What is the cable diameter of a twin copper wire?
There isn't a specific diameter. The thicker the wire the more current it can convey. This diameter will be part of your calculations for your circuit.
Which wire would have the least resitance a large diameter or small diameter wire and why?
large diameter wire simply because it will move easier Technically they would have the same resistance, but the larger diameter wire would allow more current to flow as it would have more room to move.
What wire size is required for 312 amps?
Conductor can be loaded to only 80% capacity. 312/ 80% = 390 amp wire is needed for 312 amps. A 500MCM conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 395 amps.
Does a wire with a diameter of 0.01 mm have lower resistance than a wire with 0.1 mm?
No, a smaller diameter wire has a higher resistance. The 0.01 mm wire will have 1/100 the cross-sectional area of the 0.1 mm diameter wire, therefore the resistance will be 100 times as high.
Which awg wire gauge indicates the smallest wire diameter?
The larger the wire gauge, the smaller the diameter. 12 gauge is bigger than 14 gauge.
What is the amp rating of 500mcm?
500 MCM can carry 380 Amps at 75 degrees C.
How is the diameter of a wire measured?
gauge
How is the circular mil area of a round wire determined?
By the diameter of the wire.
