All of these wire gauge wattage charts specify the maximum amount of watts a wire can handle given: Wire material. We distinguish between copper wire and aluminum wires. Same-gauge copper wires can handle more watts than aluminum wires (due to the high conductivity of copper wires).
The AWG - American Wire Gauge - is used as a standard method denoting wire diameter, measuring the diameter of the conductor (the bare wire) with the insulation removed. AWG is sometimes also known as Brown and Sharpe (B&S) Wire Gauge. The AWG table below is for a single, solid, round conductor.
The n gauge wire resistance R in ohms per kilometer (Ω/km) is equal to 1000000000 times the wire's resistivity ρ in ohm-meters (Ω·m) divided by the cross sectional area A n in square millimeters (mm 2): R n (Ω/km) = 10 9 × ρ (Ω·m) / A n (mm 2)

The common U.S. wire gauges (called AWG gauges) refer to sizes of copper wire. The resistivity of copper at 20 C is about. This table uses this value of resistivity, but it is known to vary by a few percent based on purity and process of manufacture. AWG wire. size (solid)
The American wire gauge (AWG), also known as the Brown & Sharpe wire gauge, is a standardized system for defining the diameter of conductive wires. The table below is a guide only and there are many factors such as alloy composition, ambient temperature and airflow which come into play.
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.
