Convert 262 mcm to AWG

Answer 1

Using the AWG for wire sizes only goes up to 4/0. After that the increases use MCM to size the wire. So your 262 MCM wire size will be same in AWG. There is no 262 MCM in the North American market place. It goes in 50 MCM increments starting at 250 MCM , 300 MCM, 350 MCM, 400 MCM right up to 2000 MCM cable.

Answer 2

After a certain wire size in AWG it automatically changes to MCM. The last wire size to use AWG is #1. Then it goes to one 0, two 00, three 000, and four 0000 (0 pronounced ought). The next wire size is 250 MCM. It represents M -thousand C - circular M - mils.

Answer 3

Any wire size after #1 on through from 1/0 to 4/0 and then starting with 250 MCM is still in the AWG wire sizing category.
