What Does AWG Stand For?
AWG stands for American Wire Gage
AWG, or American Wire Gage, is a standardized system used to indicate the diameter and electrical conductivity of electrical wires in the United States. The gauge number is inversely related to the wire diameter; as the gauge number increases, the wire diameter decreases. AWG is commonly used in various applications, including electrical installations and manufacturing, to ensure consistent wire sizing and performance.
