Wire Size Chart. Electrical current is measured in amps. Each wire size, or wire gauge (AWG), has a maximum current limit that a wire can handle before damage occurs. It is important to pick the correct size of wire so that the wire doesn't overheat.

In this AWG wire gauge chart for a standard copper wire, you can find every AWG wire; from the biggest 10+ mm wires (such as 4/0 AWG and 3/0 AWG wires) to the smallest below 0.01 mm wires like 39 and 40 AWG wires.
Ampacity is the maximum current that a conductor can carry continuously under the conditions of use without exceeding its temperature rating. Cerrowire's ampacity chart helps calculate the load requirement for a circuit.
In these AWG gauge charts, most common gauge values show the different characteristics of wire such as its diameter, area, ampacity, resistance, current density, fusing current and temperature ratings etc.
NEC provides tables for adjusting allowable ampacities when the ambient temperature deviates from an expected range for the temp rating of the conductor, as well as for number of conductors in raceways or cable trays, when part of the wire is exposed to sun or wind, etc.
INGNEC 2014 Article 110.14(C) Temperature Limitations. The temperature rating associated with the ampacity of a conductor shall be selected and coordinated so as not to exceed the lowest temperature r.
Wire gauge calculations. Wire diameter calculations. The n gauge wire diameter d n in inches (in) is equal to 0.005in times 92 raised to the power of 36 minus gauge number n, divided by 39: dn (in) = 0.005 in × 92 (36-n)/39.
