It is a wire size, the equivalent cross sectional area in thousands of circular mils. e.g. 500 MCM or kcmil = 500,000 circular mils. The circular mil is a unit of area used especially when denoting the cross-sectional size of a wire. It is the equivalent area of a circle whose diameter is 0.001 (10-3) inch. AWG stands for American Wire Guage.

What does AWG mean?

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.


What does AWG 15-12 mean?

AWG 15-12 refers to American Wire Gauge (AWG) sizes of electrical wire. AWG is a standardized wire gauge system used in North America that indicates the diameter of the wire; a lower number indicates a thicker wire. In this case, AWG 15 is thicker than AWG 12, with AWG 12 being more commonly used for higher current applications due to its larger cross-sectional area. The numbers represent different wire sizes suitable for various electrical loads and applications.

Which is larger in diameter12 AWG or 15 AWG wire?

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.
