Table 2 Wire Gauge Conversion Table Copper
American Wire Gauge (AWG) sizes may be determined by measuring the diameter of the conductor (the bare wire) with the insulation removed. Refer to the Wire Gauge Conversion Table for dimensions. When choosing wire gauge, the distance the wire must run and the amperage it will be expected to carry must be determined first.
