That would refer to the cross-section. A wire that has twice the diameter of another wire would have 4 times the cross-section - and therefore 4 times as much weight per meter, and 4 times as much current-carrying capacity.

What is the area of AO paper?
AO paper measures 1189 x 841 mm. Area size therefore 999,949 square mm
How do you work out what 300mm square is?
300 mm square = 300 mm * 300 mm = 300*300 square mm = 90000 sq mm or 90000 mm2
100cm square equal how many mm square?
10,000 mm square
How can i calculate amperes for transformers?
Find the wire from the secondary of the transformer. If it's a step-down transformer the thicker wire is the secondary. Measure its diameter in inches and calculate its cross-section area in square inches. The current rating for transformer wire is 1000 amps per square inch, or 1.55 amps per square mm.
How many mm in 5.3 square meters?
5.3 square meters = 5,300,000 square mm
what electrical wire size is largest?
Wire size 0000 AWG is the largest electrical wire. It is 0.46 inches in diameter or 11.86 mm in diameter. The cross sectional area is 107.16 mm(squared).
What is square mm in cable size?
cabla sq,mm to amps
What size wire is needed for 240v 3.5 amp system?
16 mm to 18 mm
What size in square mm copper wire will be required to carry 26 amps?
You will need a 40 amp breaker using AWG # 8 wire running it a distance of no more than 50 feet.
What size of wire for a 63 amp breaker?
16mm2
What size of current does the 1.5mm wire carry?
A 1.5 mm wire is rated at 13 amps at 120 volts.
How do you figure size of wire required for a circuit?
The size of wire depends on the amount of current it has to take. The size of the wire is measured by its cross-section area, and also in wire gauges. A useful limit for wires that are used occasionally in the house is 10 amps per square millimetre of cross-section (of one of the wires). For continuous loads the rating is less, 2-3 amps per sq. mm.
What size of wire should you used to 10 amp load?
2.5 squre mm
Size wire for running 240v 130 amps mig welder?
5 mm
What size of wire do you run 300 meters to get 15 amp 110 volt at your gate?
Assuming the allowed volt drop is 5% or 5.5 volts, the wire resistance has to be 5.5/15 ohms or less, 0.367 ohms. The total length of wire is 600 metres so the resistance per metre is 0.00061 ohms. 1 sq-mm copper wire has a resistance of 0.0168 ohms/metre so you need wire with a size of 0.0168/0.00061 sq-mm, or 27.5 sq-mm. The next size up is 35 sq-mm in European cable size, or #2 AWG in America.
How big a wire do you need for 6 amps?
The wire can be as big as you want to carry 6 amps. As a comparison, the smallest home wiring power circuit uses a #14 size wire and it is rated for 15 amps. In the UK a wire of 0.75 sq. mm is rated at 6 amps for portable appliances with occasional use. For a permanent installation a cable of 1 sq. mm. or more should be used. House wiring uses 2.5 sq. mm cable in a ring circuit to supply power sockets.
WHAT IS THE Cable size in mm2 required for 100 amps?
Approximate overall diameter of the wire is 12.8 mm. If you are looking for metric wire size 95 mm2. 187500 circular mils.
