AWG table

AWG table - American strand construction

In the North American economic area, the dimensions of copper conductors for power and telecommunication purposes are mostly given in AWG (American Wire Gauge), whereas in Germany, Europe and many other parts of the world we speak of metric cross sections cross sections in mm². 
The following overview provides translation assistance for the individual cross-sectional areas:
