What does mm2 cable mean?

A few key terms: 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.

What is a Cmil?

What size copper wire do you need for 100 amp service?

For 100 AMP service, you’ll need a #4 AWG copper wire or #2 AWG aluminum or copper-clad wire. Make sure to limit your voltage drop to 3% regardless of distance.

Is 4 0 and 4 AWG the same?

So basically you are left with the amount of current that will be needed, e.g. #4 wire is rated for 125amps and 4/0 is rated for 360amps. If you need to have very high current then the 4/0 would be needed if lower current then #4 would be good.

How do you convert mm2 to cm2?

The conversion factor is 0.01; so 1 square milimeter = 0.01 square centimeters. In other words, the value in mm2 divide by 100 to get a value in cm2.

What mm2 means?
