American Wire Gauge Conversion Chart AWG American wire gauges AWG are a standard set of sizes for wire conductors — the smaller the wire gauge, the larger the diameter in inches or millimeters, and vice versa. Gauge No. Need additional technical information?

AWG is also related to resistance. Essentially, a thicker wire will have less resistance and carry more voltage at a longer distance. Choosing a wire size will depend on the gauge and length you need. To determine the gauge wire you need, consider what carrying capacity and amount of current the wire needs to conduct to work for your application. Now consider the distance. The distance your wire needs to go can impact the gauge size you need. The longer the wire, the more voltage you can lose through resistance and heat.

One way to counteract voltage drop is by increasing the wire gauge, which increases your amperage capacity, allowing you to pump more amperage through and ultimately, give you enough electricity for the intended application. Continue Shopping Submit Quote.
