American Wire Guage. The smaller the number the larger the wire. As in an AWG 14/2 wire is much smaller than an AWG 10/2 wire.
American Wire Gauge ( AWG )
depends on the amperage. 14 AWG for 15 amps, 12 AWG for 20 amps, 8 AWG for 50 amps.
10 AWG can be solid. 8 AWG and larger should be stranded. 2008 NEC 310.3 2011 NEC 310.106(C)
No way
No, code does not allow that.
I think you mean 16 AWG THWN. It's coating for PVC piping.
Smaller numbers mean thicker wires

American Wire Gauge ( AWG )
AWG plc was created in 1973.
The larger the AWG number the smaller the wire. 10 AWG wire can carry more current than 12 AWG wire.The wire sizes of 24 and 26 are the smallest that are used in the electrical.See related links below
4 AWG is larger than 6 AWG because the lower the number, the larger the wire size. In this case, 4 AWG has a larger diameter and can carry more current than 6 AWG.
28 awg 1p for data, 24 awg 2c for power. i'm searching for differences bteween 1p and 2c code...
12 AWG wire is larger in diameter than 15 AWG wire. Wire gauge sizes decrease as the number increases, so a lower gauge number represents a larger wire diameter.
22 AWG has a diameter of 0.0253 inch.
AWG is American wire gauge and SWG means Standard wire gauge .. swg+1=awg according to my calculation...
