Single Build American Wire Gauge NEMA AWG
American Wire Gauge (AWG), also known as the Brown & Sharpe wire gauge, is a logarithmic stepped standardized wire gauge system used since 1857, predominantly in North America, for the diameters of round, solid, nonferrous, electrically conducting wire. Dimensions of the wires are given in ASTM standard B 258.
The AWG tables are for a single, solid and round conductor, such as copper conductor and aluminum conductor. The AWG of a stranded wire is determined by the cross-sectional area of the equivalent solid conductor.
AWG gauges are also used to describe stranded wire. The AWG gauge of a stranded wire represents the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the individual strands; the gaps between strands are not counted. When made with circular strands, these gaps occupy about 25% of the wire area, thus requiring the overall bundle diameter to be about 13% larger than a solid wire of equal gauge.
LP Industry mainly provide the magnet wire, conductor materials includes copper and aluminum. The Single Build AWG magnet wire table
