Metric conductor sizes.

Nominal cross sectional ares of conductor. Whilst batt cables plc endeavours to ensure the information on the website specification sheets and all other technical information is accurate the information is for guidance only and it is subject to change without notice or liability. Metric awg wire size equivalents. The american wire gauge describes the wire s diameter.

In europe wire sizes are expressed in cross sectional area in mm and also as the number of strands of wires of a diameter expressed in mm. This table gives closest equivalent size cross references between metric and american wire sizes. Sizes over 6 square millimeter are normally stranded so the measured diameter will be slightly larger. Wire size is usually identified as the area of the conductor in square millimeters.

The makeup and construction of electrical wire compare awg to swg and metric sq mm cable sizes with equivalent circ. Metric iso to american wire gauge. The metric iso conductor sizes describe the nominal area of the cross section of the conductor. Iec 60228 is the international electrotechnical commission s international standard on conductors of insulated cables as of 2020 the current version is third edition 2004 11 among other things it defines a set of standard wire cross sectional areas.

Awg to metric conversion chart this table gives closest equivalent size cross references between metric and american wire sizes. Current rating 2 cables single phase. Mils conductor size. No nominal diameter of wires.

The following sizes are for 60ºc insulation copper wire 3 current carrying conductors in a raceway. 10 0 7 160 60 93 280 37 21 70 855 1706 120 19 14 15 558 731 20 1010 2000 127 41 45 1 632 6176 metric conductors. For example 7 0 2 means 7 strands of wire each 0 2mm diameter. The actual cross sectional areas depend in part upon the stranding of the cable.
