The USA is 'supposed' to be metricated. hy you choose to be so backward never fails to amaze me. Any given wire gauge covers a wide range of cross-sectional areas. At least you know what you're getting with mm2. Graham -- due to the hugely increased level of spam please make the obvious adjustment to my email address

It is indeed. AWG does not specify an explicit conductor CSA. > Maybe because we are??? Why are there > three distinct classes of units in physics? (eventhough SI units are > somewhat universal). TOTALLY universal except for the USA, Liberia and Burma / Myanmar, both somewhat backward countries you have chosen to retain compatability with. Some might say the USA is rather backward too. The high level of belief in religion is one pointer to that. > Cross sectional area and diameter are basic parameters that engineers understand > and taught to convert between any system of units. Conversion is a waste of time and a source of errors. There is only ONE system of units I need for engineering. > Difference between an engineer and an hack? I like > blue, you may like purple.

Furthermore we have ESA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Space_Agency and Galileo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo_(satellite_navigation) It knocks spots off GPS.

On the other hand, the AWG scale is right > simple to use to swag the nominal wire resistance, given that it's a log > scale and starting with AWG 10 = 1 ohm/1000 feet (yeah, "feet" but ...). Oh dear ! Is that how it was specified ? At what temperature btw ? Graham due to the hugely increased level of spam please make the obvious adjustment to my email address |
