2. American wire gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_wire_gauge

   The resistance of copper wire is approximately ⁠ 1 ohms / 1000 feet ⁠ for 10 AWG, ⁠ 10 ohms / 1000 feet ⁠ for 20 AWG, ⁠ 100 ohms / 1000 feet ⁠ for 30 AWG, and so on. [ 5 ] : 27 Because aluminum wire has a conductivity of approximately 61% of copper, an aluminum wire has nearly the same resistance as a copper wire that is two sizes ...

3. IEC 60228 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEC_60228

   Comparison of SWG (red), AWG (blue) and IEC 60228 (black) wire gauge sizes from 0.03 to 200 mm² to scale on a 1 mm grid – in the SVG file, hover over a size to highlight it. In engineering applications, it is often most convenient to describe a wire in terms of its cross-section area, rather than its diameter, because the cross section is directly proportional to its strength and weight ...

   Each diameter was multiplied by 0.890526 to give the next lower size. This is now the American wire gauge (AWG), and is prevalent in North America and used to some extent in over 65 countries, with a market share of about 30% of all power and control wires and cables. [3]

6. Ampacity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampacity

   For example, the United States National Electrical Code, Table 310.15(B)(16), specifies that up to three 8 AWG copper wires having a common insulating material (THWN) in a raceway, cable, or direct burial has an ampacity of 50 A when the ambient air is 30 °C, the conductor surface temperature allowed to be 75 °C. A single insulated conductor ...

7. Standard wire gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_wire_gauge

   A table of the gauge numbers and wire diameters is shown below. [1] [2] The basis of the system is the thou (or mil in US English), or 0.001 in. Sizes are specified as wire diameters, stated in thou and tenths of a thou (mils and tenths). The wire diameter diminishes with increasing size number.
