Product Information

Installation of electrical wiring can be hazardous without proper knowledge of wire gauges and ampacity. Such appliances tend to be on the larger size, and include cooktops and ranges, hot tubs, certain HVAC units, larger lighting installations, and sub-panels. AWG cables are common as service entrance cables for homes or small buildings for load requirements between 50 and 60 Amps.

The most common method of referring to conductor sizes uses the cross-sectional area, expressed in mm².

Many a household fire has occurred when a light extension cord with 16-gauge wire is used to power a heater or heating appliance of some sort. WindyNation Power Flex Cable is fully annealed PURE copper, highly flexible (high copper strand count), with a tough, solvent resistant EPDM insulation jacket. S. standardized wire gauge system used to note the diameter of rounded, non-ferrous electrical wiring.

Stripping is removing or cutting the outside coating of a cable to expose the active wire underneath to identify them easily.

While you can tightly wind or braid wires, there will always be some type of small gap between the strands.

If this AWG metric calculator doesn't provide you with the information you need, please get in touch with the technical experts of The Cable Lab who will be pleased to answer your questions or calculate the appropriate AWG/metric size for your installation. De-rating by 20% for continuous loads gives 44 Amps, which was less than 48 Amps last time I checked. Choosing the right size wire for the job, as well as a quality brand from a reputable source will ensure that you are mitigating any possible safety hazards. AWG wire is on the larger end of the spectrum in terms of common use, and is appropriate for roughly 55 amps and an absolute maximum of 60 amps.Our Belden cables and the pairs in instrumentation cable are some of the electrical cables where the conductor size is expressed as an AWG figure. It’s vitally important that you know how to choose the right wire for the job to avoid any potential hazards. For example, there is aluminum wiring in some homes, and aluminum wires have their own ampacity-carrying capacity. Simply put, as a signal frequency increases, the current flow of the wire concentrates toward the skin (outside) of the conductor.
