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.
AWG # 6 copper or AWG # 4 aluminum
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.
6 AWG wire is preferred over 8 AWG for a 50 amp breaker because it has a larger diameter, which allows it to handle more current without overheating. This helps ensure the wire can safely carry the load without tripping the breaker or causing damage.
Yes you can. You did not say how many amps were required.
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
