Metric Power Cable Sizes

No nominal diameter of wires.

Metric power cable sizes.

Now you can take the advantage of this calculator to do this job j you can also check the classical wire cable size calculator in awg calculating wire cable size formula for single phase circuits. Today we are here with another comprehensive copper and aluminum wire size calculator as we have discussed in detail the topic of how to calculate the proper wire size for electrical wiring. Aside form the 3 most commonly used cable sizes of 1 1 5 and 2 5mm twin and earth there are in fact several other larger sizes of cable that include 4mm 6mm 10mm and 16mm. This table gives closest equivalent size cross references between metric and american wire sizes.

Note that in awg the diameter goes up as the gauge goes down but for metric gauges it is the opposite. American wire gauge awg sizes may be determined by measuring the diameter of the conductor the bare wire with the insulation removed. In europe wire sizes are expressed in cross sectional area in mm and also as the number of strands of wires of a diameter expressed in mm. Metric wire gauges see table below metric gauge.

Electrical wire sizes gauges. Imperial sizes bss 2004 metric sizes bss 6004. Current rating 2 cables single phase. What about other cable sizes.
