The n gauge wire diameter dn in inches (in) is equal to 0.005in times 92 raised to the power of 36 minus gauge number n, divided by 39:
dn (in) = 0.005 in × 92(36-n)/39
The n gauge wire diameter dn in millimeters (mm) is equal to 0.127mm times 92 raised to the power of 36 minus gauge number n, divided by 39:
dn (mm) = 0.127 mm × 92(36-n)/39
The n gauge wire's cross sercional area An in kilo-circular mils (kcmil) is equal to 1000 times the square wire diameter d in inches (in):
An (kcmil) = 1000×dn2 = 0.025 in2 × 92(36-n)/19.5
So The n gauge wire's cross sercional area An in square inches (in2) is equal to pi divided by 4 times the square wire diameter d in inches (in).
An (in2) = (π/4)×dn2 = 0.000019635 in2 × 92(36-n)/19.5
So The n gauge wire's cross sercional area An in square millimeters (mm2) is equal to pi divided by 4 times the square wire diameter d in millimeters (mm).
An (mm2) = (π/4)×dn2 = 0.012668 mm2 × 92(36-n)/19.5
So The n gauge wire resistance R in ohms per kilofeet (Ω/kft) is equal to 0.3048×1000000000 times the wire's resistivity ρ in ohm-meters (Ω·m) divided by 25.42 times the cross sectional area An in square inches (in2).
Rn (Ω/kft) = 0.3048 × 109 × ρ(Ω·m) / (25.42 × An (in2))
So The n gauge wire resistance R in ohms per kilometer (Ω/km) is equal to 1000000000 times the wire's resistivity ρ in ohm-meters (Ω·m) divided by the cross sectional area An in square millimeters (mm2).
Rn (Ω/km) = 109 × ρ(Ω·m) / An (mm2)
