The table below shows that the AWG value is opposite the diameter. It means a higher AWG value would mean a smaller size. For example, a 12-gauge option can carry a higher amp than an 18-rated one. THHN vs. THWN When looking atelectricalwires, manufacturers use different types of materi...
4/0 or 0000 AWG gauge wire is the thickest wire used in the standard AWG (ie. Brown & Sharpe wire gauge) system. It is one of the two AWG wires that have a 10+ mm diameter (4/0 AWG wire to mm equals 11.684 mm). The 0000 AWG gauge wire is also the only one with a 100+ ...
I need to determine the "allowable" ampacity of a computer/printer power supply cord. It's 6-feet long, 300V, Type SJT, 18 AWG, 60/75C rated, with IEC 60320, C13 & C14 connectors at the ends. Nowhere on the cord or connectors is the rated ampacity stated (many similar cords say ...
