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.

∙ 7y agoAfter 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.

∙ 7y agoAny 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.

What is 177 mm squared equal to in AWG?
177 mm squared is equal to 350 MCM AWG.
What size wire is required for 325 amp service?
A 350 MCM copper conductor with an insulation rating of 90 degree C is rated at 350 amps.
What size romex for 60 amps of service?
A 300 MCM copper conductor with an insulation rating of 90 degrees C is rated at 320 amps. Parallel the feeders to obtain a total of 640 amps. This will be acceptable as service feeders for a 600 amp service.A 400 MCM aluminium conductor with an insulation rating of 90 degrees C is rated at 305 amps. Parallel the feeders to obtain a total of 610 amps. This will be acceptable as service feeders for a 600 amp service.
How many amps can be applied to a 400 sq mm aluminium wire?
530 amps in average conditions, more in cold weather. <<>> The closest conversion will be; 405 mm2 is equal to 800 MCM AWG. A 800 MCM aluminium conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 445 amps.
What do the letters AWG means?
American Wire Gauge ( AWG )
Convert 350 mcm to AWG?
There is no defined AWG for 350 MCM. The American Wire Gauge stops at 0000 (4/0), and 350 MCM is bigger than this. An approximate conversion would be 6/0, if there were such a thing. Extrapolating out from 4/0, 6/0 is 334.8 MCM, and 7/0 is 422.2 MCM. These wire sizes don't exist of course, and don't exactly match 350 MCM anyway.
What is 177 mm squared equal to in AWG?
177 mm squared is equal to 350 MCM AWG.
How do you convert Sq-mm into MCM?
1 sq mm = 1.974 MCM
How do you convert 262 mg to ml?
262 mg to ml
What standards are used for wire gauges?
The diameter of the wire measured in MCM, (thousand circular mils). Wire sizes in the U.S. are described in AWG, (American Wire Gauge) such as #12 awg printed on the wire.
What size wire is required for 325 amp service?
A 350 MCM copper conductor with an insulation rating of 90 degree C is rated at 350 amps.
How do you convert AWG in to sq-mm?
See this link.
How do you convert tmc to mcm?
TMC stands for Thousand Million Cubic Feet and MCM stands for Million Cubic Meter so 1 TMC= 28.31684 MCM and 1MCM = 0.035315MCM
What is larger 0 AWG or 4 AWG?
the lower the number, the larger the wire. 0 AWG is larger than 4 AWG More information: The above answer is correct but I wish to add more information. What you are calling 0 AWG is usually written as 1/0 and called "one ought". From there the numbers get larger: 1/0, 2/0 (read "2 ought"), 3/0, and 4/0. From there wires are written in there MCM size or kcmils (kilo-circular-mills) which stands for thousand circular mills, the same as MCM. That's a lot of useless information unless you are a competent electrician. I just wanted to clarify that 0 AWG is commonly called 1/0, or "one ought."
