AC WORKS® Wisdom: AWG

For all of our power cords for sale, you will see a number followed by the letters “AWG.” You’re probably wondering, what does this mean?

AWG stands for The American Wire Gauge. This is a standard wire gauge system based in the United States, while Canada uses the International Standard. It is a standard specification for the diameters of wires used in power cords.

We offer a handy chart to help you pick out the correct gauge wire for your projects. This can be found on our website.
