No - the two have no relationship to each other at all.

∙ 12y agoThe size of the wire is stated by its gauge under American Wire Gauge. Six gauge wire is size 6 AWG.
You need to look at the regulations that apply in your country. If in doubt, use a neutral wire of the same size as the live wire or wires.

The American Wire Gauge (AWG) is a shorthand way to identify key characteristics of the size of a wire and pertinent specifications associated with the size. So you will often hear someone ask what gauge wire do I need for a 15 Amp circuit in my home. The shorthand answer in this case would be 14 AWG for a typical residential wiring job.
The wire size depends on how much current it will conduct.

I've never seen a table of direct conversions but I've included tables of wire gauge in millimeters and needle size in millimeters. They aren't exact matches, but you may find matches that are close enough for your purposes.
Wire size refers to the physical dimensions of a wire, usually expressed in millimeters or inches. Gauge size, on the other hand, is a measurement of the wire's diameter based on a specific gauge system (such as AWG or SWG). So, while wire size refers to the actual physical dimensions, gauge size is a standardized measurement used for electrical wiring.
The gauge size refers to the diameter of a wire, needle, or other cylindrical object. The gauge number is a numerical value assigned to a particular gauge size. Generally, the higher the gauge number, the smaller the diameter of the object.
12 gauge wire is used for household plugins, and 14 gauge wire is used for lights. So, 12 gauge is the size to use. But since a freezer has an electric motor, it is best to not plug anything else with a motor into the same circuit.

Wire size is the gauge (thickness of wire) hazard is almost anything not wired correctly.
The nearest wire size is #6 AWG which is .162023.
Copper wire gauge sizes are not equivalent to aluminum wire gauge sizes. The gauge sizes for copper and aluminum wires are different due to their differing electrical conductivity properties. It is not possible to directly convert a copper wire size to an equivalent aluminum wire size.
The amp size of a wire is determined by its gauge, not the number of wires. An 8-gauge wire is typically rated for around 40-60 amps, depending on the type and insulation of the wire.
No, the higher gauge means a thinner wire.
on a 4000 watt amp the best gauge wire woul be between 2 and 0
