What is the AWG?

When you use cable wires to carry current, you need to know its carring-capability. In other words, if you want to carry certain-current, what size of the cable wires you need to choose?
American Wire Gauge (AWG) is the standard way to denote wire size in North America. In AWG, the larger the number, the smaller the wire diameter and thickness. The largest standard size is 0000 AWG, and 40 AWG is the smallest standard size. It may also be called Brown & Sharpe wire gauge or simply the gauge of the wire.
AWG provide a table, which shows the cable wires size and the corresponding current that it can carry.
