Deang Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 If I have three strands of 22 AWG wire, and twist them together -- what is the final 'AWG'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arco Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 Deang, You will have something between 12 and 13 AWG (i.e. equivalent wire diameter of 0.0759"). For similar problems you should visit http://www.vandenhul.com/artpap/awg.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesnt add up for wire gauge. I am trying to get it straight myself, but I do know that it takes 9 24AWG wires to equal 15AWG and 27 of them to equal 9AWG.

jnorv Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 You add the circular mils. 22 ga is 640 CM times 3=1920. 17 ga is 2050 CM. So it is a little less than 17 ga. A CM table is at http://www.weights-and-measures.com/xamerwiregage.html BTW, How do I add active links? Jim N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
