Click on sheet or "update" to calculate

 

Note: for AWG # of "aught" ("ought") sizes use equivalent shown below:

1/0 "One aught" = 0 AWG
2/0 "Two aught" = -1 AWG
3/0 "Three aught" = -2 AWG
4/0 "Four aught" = -3 AWG

 

"Aught" probable contraction of "one-NAUGHT"
Br. English for one-zero or zero.
Also spelled
NOUGHT and so "one ought" 

Definition of AWG (reference Wikipedia)

36 AWG IS .005 inches diameter
0000 or 4/0 or four aught IS .46 inches diameter


As a rule-of-thumb approximation:
Wire size is X2 for increases of 6 gage numbers
A decrease of 3 AWG numbers is X2 area increase
