|
|
Can someone help me with determining the gauge of some cable I have please.
#1. 1666 / .12mm I assume this means 1666 strands of .12mm each. (the wire
bundle is 1/4 inch in DIA)
#2. 630 / .12mm. I assume this means 630 strands of .12mm each. (wire bundle
is 3/16 in DIA)
It is very flexible and easy to work with.
It was bought from a auto electrician a couple of years ago.
I am hoping the larger one is 2 or 4 gauge.
If this stuff is not big enough and I have to go to the welding supply place
for my cable how do I determine the gauge of their cable, I don't think it
is marked in gauges.
Thanks.

Hi Chris,
Perhaps this link will help.

Make sure you put a flame to some of the wire to make
sure it does not have any nasty characteristics.

Just a note that I still sell a lot of #4 and #2 Copper Clad Aluminum wire to builders. A free sample on email request.
