This dataset contains characteristic data of American Wire Gauge ( AWG ) standard conductors.
The data set table provides the following:
- wire gauge (AWG) - standard dimension and numeric designation for a wire. The AWG identifier is derived from the cross sectional area of a wire. The range of AWG values is 1 through 40 plus (with AWG 40 being the smallest wire. An additional set of larger wires gauges are designated 0, 00, 000, and 0000.
- diameter (inches) -- wire diameter in inches
- diameter (millimeters) -- wire diameter in millimeters
- turns of wire per in
- turns of wire per cm
- Cross-sectional area in kcmil
- Cross sectional area in `mm^2`
- Copper resistance in `(Ohm)/(km)` (`(mOhm)/m`)
- Copper resistance in `(Ohm)/(kft)` (`(mOhm)/ft`)
- NEC Copper wire ampacity at 60 degrees
- NEC Copper wire ampacity at 75 degrees
- NEC Copper wire ampacity at 90 degrees
- Fusing Current in amps required for 10 seconds
- Fusing Current in amps required for 1 seconds
- Fusing Current in amps required for 32 milliseconds
Description
Additional wire properties based on data gathered from a nationally recognized retailer is also available at AWG wire properties. This data set includes pricing information on various gauges and grades of wire.
