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."

What is larger 6 AWG or 4 AWG?
4 Gauge wire is larger in diameter than 6 Gauge wire.
Which is larger in diameter12 AWG or 15 AWG wire?
12 awg is larger.
What is the difference between 1-0 wire and number 1 wire?
1-0 or 1/0 actually means one zero and is thus pronounced "won aught". In the US, wire is sized per American Wire Gauge or AWG which gets larger as the gauge size gets smaller. 1 AWG wire is pretty big wire (about 1/4" in diameter). 1/0 or "0" AWG wire is a bit larger. By contrast, 4/0 (0000) AWG wire is about 1/2" in diameter). The larger the wire, the higher the current carrying capacity.

What is the smallest size wire to run in parallel permitted by NEC?
NEC Section 310.4 requires a 1/0 AWG and larger be used in parallel.
Can two separate wires in parallel be used to increase the amperage capacity?
Yes they can but the electrical code states that the wires can only be 1/0 AWG and larger.
What is the largest size solid conductor permitted to be installed in a raceway?
10 AWG can be solid. 8 AWG and larger should be stranded. 2008 NEC 310.3 2011 NEC 310.106(C)
Which wire is smallest in AWG?
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
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.
