What is 8 gauge wire in MM?

Wire Gauge Conversion

Wire Number (Gauge)	A.W.G. or B&S (Inches)	A.W.G. Metric (MM)
6	0.162″	4.115mm
7	0.1443″	3.665mm
8	0.1285″	3.264mm

What is 0.75 MM2 cable used for?

lighting cable
Although described as lighting cable, the 0.75mm² flex can be used for appliances rated below 6 Amps or 1,380 Watts.

How do you calculate wire size in mm?

Let’s select 3.5 core 70 Sq.mm cable for single run.

1. Current capacity of 70 Sq.mm cable is: 170 Amp, Resistance = 0.57 Ω/Km and.
2. Total derating current of 70 Sq.mm cable = 170 · 0.93 = 159 Amp.
3. Voltage Drop of Cable = (1.732 · Current · (RcosǾ + jsinǾ) · Cable length · 100) / (Line voltage · No of run · 1000) =

What is the difference between AWG and MM2?

The other caveat is the above table is based on stranded cable (the vast majority of cables are made up of stranded conductors)….A Simple Guide on Cable AWG to Metric Conversions.

Metric MM2 (Diameter)	AWG	Approx Strading
1mm	18 awg	32/0.2
1.5mm	16 awg	30/0.25
2.5mm	14 awg	50/0.25
4mm	12 awg	56/0.3

What load can 0.75 Flex take?

Choosing the correct size flex
