AWG Wire size chart and ampacity table for design engineers including skin depth frequencies and tensile strength data; electrical cable size.
The AWG - American Wire Gauge - is used as a standard method denoting wire diameter, measuring the diameter of the conductor (the bare wire) with the insulation removed. AWG is sometimes also known as Brown and Sharpe (B&S) Wire Gauge. The AWG table below is for a single, solid, round conductor.
Wire Size Chart. Electrical current is measured in amps. Each wire size, or wire gauge (AWG), has a maximum current limit that a wire can handle before damage occurs. It is important to pick the correct size of wire so that the wire doesn't overheat.
In this AWG wire gauge chart for a standard copper wire, you can find every AWG wire; from the biggest 10+ mm wires (such as 4/0 AWG and 3/0 AWG wires) to the smallest below 0.01 mm wires like 39 and 40 AWG wires.
In these AWG gauge charts, most common gauge values show the different characteristics of wire such as its diameter, area, ampacity, resistance, current density, fusing current and temperature ratings etc.

Ampacity is the maximum current that a conductor can carry continuously under the conditions of use without exceeding its temperature rating. Cerrowire's ampacity chart helps calculate the load requirement for a circuit.
