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.
American Wire Gauge ( AWG )
Use a wire table to find the cross-section area of #33 wire, multiply by 7, then find the AWG for that cross-section.
AWG 10.
A 100 amp service requires that you use AWG 4 copper wire or AWG 2 aluminum wire.
22 AWG has a diameter of 0.0253 inch.
Increasing the wire gauge from AWG 22 to AWG 26 will increase the wire's resistance because a higher gauge corresponds to a thinner wire. Thinner wires have higher resistance due to increased electrical resistance per unit length. Therefore, a wire with AWG 26 will have higher resistance compared to a wire with AWG 22.
12 AWG wire is larger in diameter than 15 AWG wire. Wire gauge sizes decrease as the number increases, so a lower gauge number represents a larger wire diameter.
The cross-sectional area of a #22 AWG wire is 0.326 mm2 .
The larger the AWG number the smaller the wire. 10 AWG wire can carry more current than 12 AWG wire.The wire sizes of 24 and 26 are the smallest that are used in the electrical.See related links below
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.
The AWG wire gauge with the highest number indicates the smallest wire diameter. For example, AWG 40 wire is much thinner than AWG 10 wire.
I believe that it is usually around 20 to 22 AWG wire.

Use a wire table to find the cross-section area of #33 wire, multiply by 7, then find the AWG for that cross-section.

4 AWG is larger than 6 AWG because the lower the number, the larger the wire size. In this case, 4 AWG has a larger diameter and can carry more current than 6 AWG.
