What is a wire diameter?
American wire gauge (AWG), also known as the Brown & Sharpe wire gauge, is a standardized wire gauge system used since 1857 predominantly in North America for the diameters of round, solid, nonferrous, electrically conducting wire.
What gauge wire should be used to rewire auto?
There are many size gauge wires used in the making of an automobile, anywhere from 4 gauge to 22 gauge.
What is themost common wire used for a door contact?
16 or 18 gauge wire
Is 8 gauge weld wire fencing stronger than 10 gauge wire?
Wire gauges are defined in such a way that the lower the gauge, the thicker the wire. So, 8 gauge wire is thicker than 10 gauge wire.
Can 15 amp rated outlets be used with twelve gauge wire?
A. It's 240 volts & B. Wire size is a function of amperage. 12-gauge wire is used with 20 amperes or less. So, 12-gauge wire can be used with 120V/20A or 240V/20A. Keep in mind though that 240V in the U.S. has 2 live 120V lines so if you encounter a white wire, it's probably an unmarked live & should be repainted as black or better yet, red (to indicate the 2nd live wire).
What gauge wire is used for electric furnace heating elements?
normally 8 gauge wire is used for electric heat furnaces.
What type of wire gauge is used for a 30amp circuit?
10 gauge

What is the system used to describe wire sizes?
In North America the system used is AWG. American Wire Gauge.
What is Birmingham wire gauge?
It was a system used to specify the thickness or diameter of metal wire. It was improved and renamed British Standard Wire Gauge in 1883, usually abbreviated to SWG.
How big is 6 gauge wire?
The size of the wire is stated by its gauge under American Wire Gauge. Six gauge wire is size 6 AWG.
Is 8 gauge weld wire fencing stronger than 10 gauge wire?
Wire gauges are defined in such a way that the lower the gauge, the thicker the wire. So, 8 gauge wire is thicker than 10 gauge wire.
What gauge wire should be used with a 60amp circuit breaker?
Use AWG # 6 wire.
What is the use of wire gauge?
Wire gauge is used to determine the size wire needed to carry the correct amount of current for the job. It must be sized appropriately for the current in the circuit you are building.
What is the orange wire on your fuel pump harness for a 1990 ford f150 used for Is it a power wire?
It is the ground wire for the fuel pump. The Red wire is the power wire for the pump. the dark blue is the signal wire for the gauge and the black is the ground for the gauge.
