Wire Gauge Size Chart: American Wire Gauge (AWG) to Square Millimeters (MM2) American Wire Gauge (AWG) is the U.S. standardized wire gauge system used to note the diameter of rounded, non-ferrous electrical wiring.

What is MM2 cable?

Cross sectional area of the conductor – sometimes called ‘cable size’ Given as mm², it describes the total cross-sectional area of the copper conductor. Cable will be sized 1 mm², 2 mm², 4 mm² etc. and may be written as 1 mm, 2mm, 4mm. This is not the diameter of the cable.

Can you mix 1mm and 1.5 mm cable?

IET Forums – Mixing cable sizes. So it’s ok even if I have wired half of the circuit in 1.5 and then do the rest in 1mm. Yes, mixed cable sizes are fine provided that the smallest cable is compliant for the size and type of OCPD. AND that the voltage drop for the entire circuit is within acceptable limits.
