DON'T GO HIGH WIRE

In electrical work, it’s not just about connecting circuits, it’s also about picking the correct wires for the job. Wire gauges might seem complicated, but using the wrong sizes can cause serious problems, like poor performance or even dangerous situations. In this issue, we'll explain wire gauge charts and how to use them safely.

What is a wire gauge?

Understanding wire gauge is important for figuring out wire thickness. There are industry standards for measuring wire thickness which are used for electrically conductive wires, especially for specifying gauges for round and solid wires made from nonferrous materials. It helps professionals figure out which wires are best for different jobs. Since wire thickness affects how well it conducts electricity, knowing the gauge is essential. This knowledge also helps everyone involved in the process, from the manufacturer to the consumer, communicate clearly about which wires to use.
