Awg wire gauge chart & standards

American wire gauge 표준 sizes, diameters, resistances 과 ampacities.

awgwiregauge

Overview

The American Wire Gauge (AWG) system is the standard for measuring wire sizes in North America. Smaller AWG numbers indicate larger wire diameters.

Key relationships:

Every 6 gauge decrease doubles the wire diameter
Every 3 gauge decrease doubles the cross-sectional area
AWG 0000 (4/0) is the largest standard gauge (11.684 mm diameter)

AWG Formulas

Wire diameter for a given AWG number $n$ :

$d_n = 0.127 \times 92^{\frac{36-n}{39}} \text{ mm}$

Cross-sectional area:

$A_n = \frac{\pi}{4} d_n^2$

Common Applications

AWG Range	Typical Use
0000–0	Service entrance, feeders
1–4	Large appliances, sub-panels
6–10	Ranges, dryers, A/C units
12–14	General household circuits
16–18	Extension cords, fixtures
20–26	Electronics, low-voltage
28–40	Signal wire, coils

Note: Ampacity values vary significantly based on insulation type, ambient temperature, conduit fill, and installation method. Always refer to NEC tables for actual design.
