如何计算A W G Converter
learn.whatIsHeading
AWG (American Wire Gauge) converters translate between AWG numbers and actual wire diameter/cross-sectional area.
分步指南
- 1AWG scale: smaller number = larger wire
- 2Each step decreases diameter by ~1.123× (logarithmic)
- 3Cross-sectional area roughly doubles every 3 AWG sizes
例题解析
输入
10 AWG copper wire
结果
2.588 mm diameter, 5.26 mm² area, ~31 ampere rating
Typical household branch circuit
常见错误注意事项
- ✕Confusing AWG number with diameter (smaller number = larger wire)
- ✕Using incorrect ampacity table (varies by insulation type)
常见问题
Why the inverse sizing?
Historical convention; AWG 0 was largest, lower numbers larger. Counterintuitive but established.
How does wire gauge relate to current capacity?
Ampacity depends on material, insulation, installation (bundle, conduit). Larger cross-section carries more current.
