A 14 gauge wire is about 1.628 mm across, which gives a cross-section of about 2.08 mm2. Quick answer: Raise 92 to the power of (36 minus the gauge) over 39, then multiply by 0.127. For example, 14 AWG is 1.628 mm, 12 AWG is 2.053 mm and 18 AWG is 1.024 mm. The gauge…
The label on the cable says 12 gauge, the wire stripper has a notch for it, and the number that actually matters is how many thousandths of an inch the copper measures. Quick answer: for American Wire Gauge, the diameter in inches is 0.005 × 92^((36 − gauge) ÷ 39). So 12 AWG is 0.0808…
A 12 gauge wire is thicker than a 20 gauge wire, which seems backwards until you learn that the scale counts how many times the wire was drawn through a die. Quick answer: for American Wire Gauge, the diameter in millimetres is 0.127 × 92^((36 − gauge) ÷ 39). So 12 AWG is 2.053 mm,…
