This is a standard reference to earlier times, when instant repairs were needed on many things. The favourite material to try was No 8 wire (8 swg).

So it is shorthand for the NZers attitude of "it can be done".

What is gauge 8 means in copper electrical wire?

In cooper electrical wire, gauge 8 means the wire size assigned by the American Wire Gauge (AWG) system. That is why you always will hear about AWG WIRE, it's not the type of wire is the gauge that we are talking about. A gauge 8 wire will be used for connections requiring from 40-45 amps to a maximum of 73 amps. (24 for power transmission). Diameter of an 8 AWG wire is 0.12849 inches. 8 AWG is solid, not stranded.


Is a number 14 gauge wire smaller than a number 8 gauge wire?

No, using the AWG system of measuring wire sizes the smaller the wire numbers go the larger the wire size becomes. Hence the number 14 is smaller that the number 16 so it is largest in size of the two wires.
