Minimum drive AWG (American Wire Gauge) refers to the smallest gauge of wire that can effectively handle the required current for a specific application without overheating or suffering performance issues. This designation ensures that the wire can safely carry the electrical load while minimizing resistance and energy loss. Choosing the appropriate minimum drive AWG is crucial for the safety and efficiency of electrical systems.

For a service rated at 400 amps using 500 MCM THHN copper conductors, the minimum size for a copper grounding electrode conductor (GEC) can be determined using the National Electrical Code (NEC) guidelines. According to NEC Table 250.66, for a service of 400 amps, the minimum size for a copper GEC is 4 AWG. However, if the GEC is connected to a ground rod, it must be a minimum of 6 AWG copper.
The minimum wire size for a 30Amp breaker is typically 10 AWG for copper wire and 8 AWG for aluminum wire, according to the National Electrical Code (NEC). This wire size is necessary to safely carry the amount of current without overheating.

I think you mean 16 AWG THWN. It's coating for PVC piping.
The minimum size home wiring is #14 AWG, the rating for that size wire is 15 amps.
The minimum size home wiring is #14 AWG, the rating for that size wire is 15 amps.
Smaller numbers mean thicker wires
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.
