Use different size wire in electro clutch?

Now you're just teasing the donkey, who can only count to four that way...

You're wayyyy off base...

How do you know what the standard diameters are?

With AWG, you know the "next size up" (number--) and the "next common size up" (next even number down)

To double the diameter, you go down by about 6 AWG sizes. To halve the resistance you go down by about 3 AWG sizes.

I really don't see much reason to ever change from the AWG system.

Neither do I. However, Eurocrap is cropping up all over, plus Japanese and Chinese.

I've never needed sizes below 0.5mm dia. Above that, steps of

It's easier working with diameter when setting pitch on winding machines, or calculating stator slot fill. I guess that's why metricrats use diameter for magnet wire, not square millimeters like for cable.

I still use circular mils sometimes.

No, my position is pretty safe.

That's how I met my future father-in-law. ;-)

The USA is 'supposed' to be metricated. hy you choose to be so backward never fails to amaze me. Any given wire gauge covers a wide range of cross-sectional areas. At least you know what you're getting with mm2.

It is indeed. AWG does not specify an explicit conductor CSA.

TOTALLY universal except for the USA, Liberia and Burma / Myanmar, both somewhat backward countries you have chosen to retain compatability with. Some might say the USA is rather backward too. The high level of belief in religion is one pointer to that.

Conversion is a waste of time and a source of errors. There is only ONE system of units I need for engineering.

Oh dear ! Is that how it was specified ? At what temperature btw ?

What an absurd comment. Do you have 12 fingers so you can count in inches to the foot ?

LOL ! Give me a thou over a 'mil' anyday. Only the Americans could confuse a metric prefix with an old unit.

Not to mention that if you use the word 'mil' in the UK it means a millimetre.

I didn't go bonkers at all. I just picked an easy target to stir you up.

We can convert too, you know. Thankfully only an issue for you lot.

Why don't you use it ?

Well, it IS used for things other than magnets. To be pedantic it's *enamelled* btw.

Or both.
