What is the AWG of a stranded wire?
The AWG table below is for a single, solid, round conductor. Because of the small gaps between the strands in a stranded wire, a stranded wire with the same current-carrying capacity and electrical resistance as a solid wire, always have a slightly larger overall diameter.
What is the diameter of a stranded wire?
Because of the small gaps between the strands in a stranded wire, a stranded wire with the same current-carrying capacity and electrical resistance as a solid wire, always have a slightly larger overall diameter. The higher the number – the thinner the wire. Typical household wiring is AWG number 12 or 14.
What is the current rating of a typical electrical wire?
Typical household wiring is AWG number 12 or 14. Telephone wire is typical AWG 22, 24, or 26. The table below indicates the current ratings of PVC-insulated single and multicore wiring cables. Be aware that the current load depends on installation method – the enclosure – and how well the resistance heat is removed from the cable.
