The cross reference list shows equivalent nominal values. Actual cross sections may vary. The AWG values are approximate if the cables Are made to European Standards mm 2 and vise versa. In critical applications, where the current reaches upper limits. The deviating Operation conditions for installation and laying according to standards are to be taken into consideration.
