For wire conductor size we have AWG (which is American Wiring Guide) and metric standarts (SI). For cable size you need to have a look at the cable manufacturers’ catalogues.
Here you may have the table for conversion between these tables;
AWG | SI ($latex mm^2$) |
---|---|
6⁄0 | 170.30 |
5⁄0 | 135.10 |
4⁄0 | 107 |
3⁄0 | 85.0 |
2⁄0 | 67.4 |
1⁄0 | 53.5 |

2 | 33.6 |

And from $latex mm^2 $ to AWG we don’t have a directly conversion since AWG don’t have something like 30.5 or 10.2, but we can estimate how near they are to each other for example taking AWG20 as 0.5 $latex mm^2 $ does not seem wrong. According to those estimations we can have a chart like this;
SI ($latex mm^2$) | AWG | DEVIATION ($latex mm^2$) | DEVIATION (%) |
0,5 | 20 | +0,018 | 3,6 |
0,75 | 18 | +0,073 | 9,73 |
1 | 17 | +0,04 | 4 |
1,5 | 15 | +0,15 | 1 0 |
2,5 | 13 | +0,12 | 4,8 |
4 | 11 | +0,17 | 4,25 |
6 | 9 | +0,63 | 10,5 |
10 | 7 | +0,5 | 5 |
16 | 5 | +0,8 | 5 |
25 | 3 | +1,7 | 6,8 |
35* | 2 | –1,4* | 4* |
50 | 1⁄0 | +3,5 | 7 |
70* | 2⁄0 | -2,6* | 3,71* |
95 | $latex \frac {4}{0}$ | +12 | 11 |
$latex *$ These ones may be a little smaller size or deviation from the original size may be higher so be careful while choosing these ones. These are not direct or near conversions.
