What is AWG size?
American Wire Gauge (AWG) is the standard way to denote wire size in North America. In AWG, the larger the number, the smaller the wire diameter and thickness. The largest standard size is 0000 AWG, and 40 AWG is the smallest standard size.
What’s the difference between 1 AWG and 1 0 AWG?
There is a difference, 1/O is one wire size larger.
How is AWG measured?
Stranded wire gauges should be measured by calculating the equivalent cross sectional copper area. First, measure the bare diameter of a single strand and locate the circular mils value in the row that matches your measurement. Second, multiply the circular mils by the number of strands in the cable.

What size wire do you need for a 50 amp breaker?
6
For a maximum of 50 amps, you’ll need a wire gauge of 6. Fifty amp breakers are most often used to power many different appliances.
How many amps can a 50 amp breaker handle?
A 50 Amp split phase 120/240 VAC service should be capable of 50 Amps per leg for a total ampacity of 100 Amps. It’s true that you have 50 Amp on each leg for 100 Amp total, but if you get up to 45 Amp continuous on one leg, you will trip the breaker.
