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 smallest copper wire size permitted by the national electric code for a 20 amp single phase electrical circuit?
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.
Which is larger in diameter12 AWG or 15 AWG wire?
12 awg is larger.
What does awg stands for?
AWG stands for American Wire Gauge. It is a standardized wire gauging system for the diameters of round, solid, electrically conducting wire.
50 amp breaker needs what wire size?
6 AWG wire
What is the smallest wire size for which overcurrent protection is specified in the Code?
14 AWG
What is the smallest breaker for a 25 amp circuit?
30 amp wired with AWG # 10 wire.
What size wire to pull 6 amps 70 feet?
NEC 310.16 conductor ampacities NEC 240.4(D) For residential installations the smallest wire to be used is 14 AWG (15 amps rating) and for commercial installations the smallest wire to be used is 12 AWG (20 amp rating)
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.
Does a 1000 watt single pole switch require different wiring than a 600 watt switch?
not unless the wire is exceptionally small, if if is 12 AWG or even 14 AWG you will be ok unless you are using it for a transmission line (unlikely) The smallest wire you can use safely is a 21 AWG wire but that's not a wire used in the walls
What kind of aluminum wire has the most resistance?
The one with the smallest thickness (highest AWG number) and longest length has.

What gauge wire is needed for 7.5 amps?
AWG # 14 is the smallest wire you can install in a home and it can only be used in living areas. It will carry 15 amps.
What does AWG mean?
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.
Which is larger in diameter12 AWG or 15 AWG wire?
12 awg is larger.
What does awg stands for?

What is the smallest size of a common grounding electrode conductor installed for multiple separately derived systems?
3/0 awg wire
