<--- Born in 1974 !! LOL
I know UK Imperial Sizes (Whitworth etc) and Metric. I have had the pleasure of pulling out some SWG cabling from one of the old 1940's Mills that my old company had on site. Rewired in Metric of course LOL.
I was aware of the old SWG system, but it was treated as a *good-ole-days* story lol.
The AWG system just *feels* wrong to me lol. I am trying to get used to it and slowly am. Like I say I mentally *equate* thier AWG to metric lol.
I am aware that AWG is based on the Cmil measurement. (Damm small base to take a refrence from - 1KCmil = a unit of area equal to about 0.5067 square millimeter.
So 250Kcmil cable = Roughly 127mmSQ
I guess if I figure on (Kcmil * 0.5) I'll get roughly what *I'd* call it LOL.
