Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page
Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

American Wire Gauge is defined by 0000 AWG = 0.460" and 36 AWG = 0.005". Representing 0000 as -3, the diameter of a given gauge wire is
d/0.460" = 92^-((AWG + 3)/39)
the lefthand side may also be expressed as d/11.684 mm. This assumes the diameter is expressed in the same units as the denominator factor to make sense.
Given the diameter, you can computer cross sectional area, and with resistivity, the resistance for a specified length.
