    Typical AWG Wire Sizes

    Uploaded by

    Mitha Vivek
    The document provides information on American Wire Gauge (AWG) wire sizes including diameter, area, copper resistance, and ampacity ratings. Larger AWG numbers correspond to thinner wires with higher resistance and lower ampacity. Common wire sizes include 12 AWG for household circuits, 14 AWG for light duty applications, and larger wires like 4 AWG or 0 AWG for heavy industrial use.
