Wire Gauge Size Chart AWG to mm2

AWG to mm2, Higher the AWG number, smaller the wire diameter.

AWG or American Wire Gauge is the US standard measure for the diameter of electrical conductors.

The higher the AWG number is, the smaller the wire diameter is.

AWG is American standard that defines the cross-sectional areas and diameters for solid, round electrical wire and is based on the number of dies required to draw down the raw copper to the appropriate size.

What is Ambient Air Temperature?

Reference Ambient Air Temperature is one third (1/3) of sum of Maximum Air Temperature “Current + Daily Average + Annual Average + 10°C”. As per IS 9676.

How to do Powder Coating ?

In Powder coating process, CRCA surface is given Anti Corrosive Surface treatment, then Epoxy Powder is applied, melted and hardened.

DC Utilization Categories IEC 60947

Utilization Categories indicate the type of Load and Duty Cycle of the load basis which selection of Switchgear should be done for the intended application.

What is I2t – Let through Energy ?

I2t – Let through Energy is available thermal energy resulting from Current Flow during circuit opening in Fuse, MCCB, MCB.Unit is A2S (Ampere2 Second)

Methods of Heat Transfer

Heat is a flow of energy from higher temperature object to lower temperature object. Heat transfer continues until two objects reaches thermal equilibrium.
